What were they saying?
This is a common sight in Mississippi, especially as you drive into the Delta. Lots of open fields, and lying on those open fields are (pick one):
A. People on tanning beds, who mistook a field in Mississippi for a vacation spot
B. Tractors
C. Cows and other random farm animals
D. Critters (e.g. squirrels, and the like)
I hope you picked B, even though the rest are possibilities.
Anyway, I imagine that these two tractors had this conversation:
Tractor 1 (the one on the left): I reckon it’s gonna rain today.
Tractor 2 (in a high-pitched yet remarkably detached voice): You said that last week, and it was as dry as a baby’s bottom.
LONG PAUSE
Tractor 1: So, did you see the game last night?
Tractor 2: No, but I saw a raccoon get run over by a beat-up 4 by 4.
Tractor 1: He should’a looked where he was going.
Tractor 2: Who? The truck or the raccoon?
ANOTHER LONG PAUSE
Tractor 1: Think we’ll ever take that trip to Wal-Mart?
Tractor 2: Sure. When pigs fly.
*both start laughing*
I could almost bet I heard them laughing when I passed by. Tractors!
