>>695540My father used to work on a lot of farms and has one story in particular he likes to tell about one of his old employers.
>Be my dad: late teens or early twenties.>Spend a few years milking, doing other jobs related to the cows and the like.>Is asked to take care of a prized bull or something along those lines while the farm owner is gone for a bit.>Farmer gives strict rules for my dad to follow.>Farmer takes a little squirt pistol ( like the water pistols for kids ) out of his pocket, opens barn door with my dad behind him.>The bull charges, has yet to have undergone disbudding or dehorning.>Dad jumps to the side.>Farmer starts squirting, bull retreats and bucks.>Squirt gun was filled with ammonia.>My dad spent the next two weeks spraying ammonia in the direction of the bull whenever he went into the barn.On an unrelated note but still a funny story...
>Be him again.>Be watching Arachnophobia somewhere in his twenties.>Managed to stay straight-faced through the movie, sipping his Beam/Coke.>Movie ends, lights on.>He stands up, feels something crawling on his head.>"AHHH WHAT THE FUCK GET IT OFF GET THE FUCKER OFF!">His friends start laughing as he yells and attacks the area above him.>Kills an innocent potted plant that had been hanging.I'm not sure if any of these stories are true but he does tell them fairly often ( I have a fear of spiders and many of his friends are farmers ) when I go to visit him and his buddies.
