Hay thief! :x

When I lived on a farm, my dad would buy hay in bulk and sell it to the neighboring farms. The deal was come get it, let us know and pay for what you used. Everyone just stole it, so we didn't do that again.

:lol: yep, my grandfather did that for a short time too - most people paid, but enough didnt

Yeah, I guess "everyone" was a stretch. But not enough paid to make it worthwhile

Willie Nelson tells a story. He was once reminded that pot has never killed anyone. Willie replied, "Not true. I had a friend who had a bale of pot land on his head and killed him".
