- Don't Mess With Farm Kids

DON'T MESS WITH FARM KIDS

A young boy comes down for breakfast.

Since they live on a farm, his mother asks if he has done his chores.

'Not yet,' said the little boy.

His mother tells him no breakfast until he does his chores.

Well, he's a little ticked off so when he feeds the chickens, he
kicks a chicken.

When he feeds the cows, he kicks a cow, and when he feeds the
pigs, he kicks a pig.

He goes back in for breakfast and his mother gives him a bowl of
dry cereal.

'How come I don't get any eggs and bacon, and why don't I have
any milk in my cereal?' he asks.

'Well,' his mother says, 'I saw you kick a chicken, so you don't
get any eggs for a week.

I saw you kick the pig, so you don't get any
bacon for a week either.

I saw you kick the cow, so for a week you
aren't getting any milk.'

Just then, his father comes down for breakfast and kicks the cat
halfway across the kitchen.

The little boy looks up at his mother with a smile, and says,
'You going tell him or should I?

What goes around comes around.


His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer.
One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog.
He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.
There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself.
Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings.
An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. 'I want to repay you,' said the nobleman.
'You saved my son's life.'
'No, I can't accept payment for what I did,' the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer.

At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.
'Is that your son?' the nobleman asked.
'Yes,' the farmer replied proudly.

'I'll make you a deal.
Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy.
If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.'

And that he did.

Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

What saved his life this time?
Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman?
Lord Randolph Churchill.

His son's name?
Sir Winston Churchill.

- "SQUARE" Watermelons? It's For Real !!!

Subject: Square Watermelons

Interesting, practical and true. This has been checked on Snopes:

Square Watermelons...
A round watermelon can take up a lot of room in a refrigerater and the usually round fruit often sits awkwardly on refrigerator shelves.

Smart Japanese Farmers have forced their watermelons to grow into a square shape by inserting the melons into square, tempered glass cases while the fruit is still growing on the vine.

Pretty darn CLEVER !
