DECKER, Ind. -- A man driving a stolen tractor crushed a sport-utility vehicle and passed through a watermelon field before he was arrested on a drunken driving charge, police said.
Police were called early Sunday about a tractor running over an SUV parked in front of the vehicle owner's home in Decker, about 35 miles north of Evansville, the Knox County Sheriff's Department said. Another complaint was made that the tractor crossed several roads, ran through a watermelon field and a front yard.

I don't know why a man can be charged for the actions of a drunk tractor.

It is obvious we must stop the adding of ethenol to gasoline. And what was the SUV doing to enrage this drunken tractor?

They were farm kids way down in Dixie
Met in high school in the sixties
Everyone knew it was love from the start
One July in the midnight hour
He climbed upon the water tower
Stood on the rail and painted a 10-foot heart
In John Deere Green
On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3 feet high
And the whole town said that he should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere Green
They settled down on eighty acres
Raising sweet corn, kids, and tomatos
They went together like a hand and a glove
On a clear day from their front yard
If you look and know what to look for
Off to the east you can still read his words of love
In John Deere Green
On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3 fet high
And the whole town said the boy should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere Green
Now more than once
The town has discovered
Painting over it ain't no use
There ain't no paint in the world
That'll cover it, the heart keeps showing through
In John Deere Green
On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3 feet high
And the whole town said the fool should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere Green
Ahh paint it green boy
In John Deere Green
On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3 feet high
And the whole town said the boy should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere Green
John Deere Green!

It's what happens when people drink directly from the Ohio River downstream from the bourbon distilleries in Louisville. Typical Indiana stuff.

He got pretty far. Usually the tractor would just roll into the ditch and roll over.

I should add that we have the same sort of problem here in Missouri/Kansas except it usually involves a combine and an outhouse.

To: Il Duce
The SUV was a total loss. You know who is deeply saddened.
