Getting sentimental in my old age...Good memories.....
Trivial? No, not to me, not in the least. I too was raised on a farm and I've walked behind many-a hay wagon, both empty and full and I know the difference just by the sound.
We farm folk also easily recognize B.S. (we've stepped in enough of it) - and this usurping Zerø character is a nuclear powered manure spreader!
Anything, and everything that proceeds from his mouth is pure b.s.!
