ORIGINAL: lilsubl but what a way to go...think of the obituary possibilities....not to mention the epitaph.... It would have been a horrible way to go! This guy was the scourge of the shop. He drove a tractor that was 25 years old (1979 at the time), the fiberglass cab was half eaten away, the freakin' cab doors had to be held shut with bailing wire, he modified the transmission to have something like 5 forward ranges and 3 reverse ranges on top of however many gears he built into his gearbox... it was quite amazing to any of us that he managed to pass all of the state inspections required at the time. He was a bear of a man, never shaved, never bathed, and had a sour disposition. He drank quite frequently, which really scared the hell out of me whenever I drew the short straw to ride with this monster. So no... being clubbed to death by this monster would not be the way I want to go. What a scary, scary final sight to see... [... shudders ...]
