Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 I was walking through a steep sided corn field this afternoon which was full of large twined bales of straw. I thought what great fun it would be to roll them all to the bottom and tried one out to see how feasible it would be. (very easy) Then sadly, I remembered I was a grown up and grown ups do not act that way :-( Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a similar note, how many other list-members have some trouble reconciling the fact that they kill lots of things every time they go out in the car or mow the lawn? I do feel pangs of conscience when insects hit my windscreen, but what can you do? Chris W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they would have been at the bottom of the hill and all together so it would have be quicker for him to load them up. But you are right he is a miserable sod.
