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.

That was my first thought...my puny little 45 hp JD woulda lost that battle, no matter how drunk it was.

You read the post (Iam assuming of course, if you didn't you should go back and do so)and un-abashedly I read it as did a number of others. Rush like the rest of us, from time to time inserts something we percieve as humorous into our dialogue, mainly because eternal seriousness could be detrimental to our health, even lethal. We are forever on the lookout for something in a lighter vein.

Responding to a post about a drunk stealing a tractor and squashing water melons and SUV's, in no way indicates we approve of or reccommend such actions. If anyone had been maimed or killed during the escapade, no one would be making light of it. All's well that ends well and open to poking fun at. Even the Perp in this case will in due time be allowed to get on with his life. Hopefully wiser from the experience.

What if anything do you find humorous?
