Lol

I had an old time country friend of mine ... he lived out in the country in a farming area surrounded by farms. The kind of guy that just loved to talk and talk and talk for hours on end if you allowed him.

He said for fun when he ran out of people to talk to he'd go see some farmer he'd never met before who was selling something ... anything (including a $5 lamp) ... and ask them if they had an old time horse drawn manure spreader. He said most farmers like to talk because they're always bored or just want to delay having to go to work. Asking about horse drawn manure spreaders gets then to talk about the old times, good old days, memories of working with their fathers, what they have, what they built, where they're from and on and on and on.

My friends name was Jack and he was a pain in the ass because he could occupy your entire day talking about everything under the sun. He was fun for about an hour but beyond that, he probably wouldn't notice if the dried husk of your remains started to blow away.

Are you sure your friends name wasn't Colin Robinson?
