YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT VERY INTERESTED IN ANY USED FARM EQUIPMENT BUT YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS AD TAKEN FROM CRAIG'S LIST.
For Sale: FIFTY YEAR OLD MANURE SPREADER - $1.00
Fifty-year old manure spreader. Not sure of brand. Said to have been produced in Kenya. Used for a few years in Indonesia before being smuggled into the US via Hawaii. Of questionable pedigree. Does not appear to have ever been worked hard. Apparently it was pampered by various owners over the years.
It doesn't work very often, but when it does it can really sling the shit for amazing distances. I am hoping to retire the manure spreader next November. I really don't want it hanging around getting in the way. I would prefer a foreign buyer to relocate the manure spreader out of the country. I would be willing to trade it for a nicely framed copy of the United States Constitution.
Location: Currently being stored in a big white house in Washington , D.C.
[I thank reader-researcher RC, for passing this along.]
Yeah, but our ancestors buying manure-spreaders 200 yrs ago was what got us into this mess in the first place. So he can keep it. Or better yet, send it back to Kenya.
