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.
