Same here, rabbit- but imagine his surprise when he got busted for DWI on his Ferguson, driving home from the bar. He protested that drunk driving laws didn't apply to tractors- Deputy explained that driver license requirement didn't apply to driving a tractor, but DWI laws applied to all "motor vehicles". He was very disappointed with the advice he had received from his friends, and with the 6 months he got for his 5th DWI.
I was a deputy in charge of the jail at the time, and when he was booked, I was instructed to make him a "trusty" immediately. Seems he was very familiar to the jail, was completely trustworthy, and helped out a lot. He went into a cell where the door was never locked, and he had free run of the place. We could send him to the corner store for cigarettes, etc., and he always came back (we'd give him a little extra so he could get himself something, too.) I think he preferred spending the winter in jail, because "3 hots and a cot" was better than what he had at home. At least, he always seemed to end up there, come November or so. RIP, Ernie.
