That's a comfy Amish bus for old folks. No kidding!
Now that's really bending the rules. Can't use the tractor to *pull* the baler but they can use its internal combustion engine to *power* the baler. ;) I bet you've seen at least one Amish teenager driven buggy with lights and a stereo. I've heard of them somehow managing to get speeding tickets. Look up the song "No More Mennonite Guy", sung to the tune of Alice Cooper's "No More Mr. Nice Guy". It's about a Mennonite who decides to chuck all that sophisticated stuff for the simpler Amish life. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
