She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy

Growing up and through my high-school years my grandfather played a huge role in my life.  We were very close.  It was hard for me to lose him while I was here in prison.  My grandfather always wore a fedora.  Like an old gangster.

When he passed away, I only asked for one thing.  His hat.  There's no way I could fill his shoes, but with my big head that hat should fit.  One day I will totally rock my grandfather's fedora.  A couple of years have passed since he died.  Last week, my aunt and uncle came to visit me.  First time in nearly seven years I have seen my uncle.  Nearly three and half since my aunt last visited.

During our conversation, they informed me that my grandpa left me his tractor.  Now, we're not talking a yard mower.  This isn't your lawn tractor you pull in the garage beside the car.  You build a garage for this tractor.  This is a man's tractor.

This is the tractor every man wishes he had, but doesn't.  One man is proud to say he has a corvette in the garage.  Another man is proud of his Ping golf clubs.  One dude loves his bass boat.  These are all nice.  Why don't you add a fluffy poodle to the mix?  Pussy.

My garage will have Harleys, a mud truck, my muscle car, and now a tractor.  You know those reflective diamond things they put on the back of farm machines?  I'm getting one of those.

The government says that I can't own guns any more.  That's fine.  You piss me off and a tractor is headed your way.  Right across your lawn and all your sprinkler heads.  My tractor came with a bush-hog and a plow.  You know what those are?  That's enough testosterone to make Jose Canseco giggle like a school girl.

Piss me off and I'll make a few passes across your yard with my plow.  If that isn't bad enough, how about a brush hog across the flower bed?  I may just put on my fedora and ride the tractor up to the country club.  When I learned about my good fortune, I couldn't wait to get back and tell my lady about my tractor.

She answered the phone and I began to sing the country song "She thinks my tractors seeexxxxyyy."  She laughed and said, "Oh, Michael, is that what your calling your 'thingy' today?"  I replied that no, in fact I really own a tractor.  Bless her heart.  I have the baddest chick in the world.  I mean....what would you say if your man came home covered in tattoos, wearing a fedora and driving a tractor?  Talk about spicing things up a bit!  All these dudes taking Viagra because they can't rise to the occasion.  I say, "put some horsepower between your legs."  Then again....not every man can own a fine piece of farm machinery.

I love this story and the picture is awesome.

Just this last Saturday night we were at a Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan concert. While this appears to be a blue tractor, this picture still makes me think of Jason's song, Big Green Tractor.

And I can take you for a ride on my big green tractor
We can go slow or make it go faster
Down through the woods and out to the pasture
'Long as I'm with you it really don't matter

And yes, tractors are sexy. :)
