One VERY HOT August Sunday here in Ga. I stopped by and recruited my 2 cousins to go assist me to retrieve an old Ford tractor I had purchased from an old farmer near where they lived.
Upon getting there, cousin #1 promptly gets stung by a wasp who had (along with MANY others) made nests under the hood. Rear wheels were too wide for trailer, so we start towing it back to Cousin #2's house to move them in narrower. Cousin #1 is driving tractor, pulled by me, when he discovers another wasp nest under the seat (OUCH!). Then he realizes NO BRAKES, and almost rams my pickup before hiting a ditch and skinning up his arm on the dash.
Finally, back to Cousin #2's house. Cousin #1 has 3 wasp stings, a skinned up arm, black hands from the 40 year old steering wheel, and we are all covered with sweat from the midday sun.
After another hour or so of sweating, wheels are moved in and tractor is on my trailer. We are standing next to trailer when I look at cousin #1 in a very serious manner and say: "Well, ya'll ready to go get the other one?"
I will never forget how all 8 pints of blood rushed to his head at once, and a grin fell off his face to a somber scowl. We all burst out laughing and couldn't stop for several minutes....

Another non-tractor:
Father-In-Law and Uncle were walking back to truck after a morning of deer hunting when it started to rain. Both trotted the last few yards back to truck. Uncle on passenger side opened door, placed rifle on the seat, and sat down. F-I-L, got in a hurry, opened truck door, tossed in rifle where it promptly went off and shot a hole thru the floor and into the transmission! He looked at Uncle very seriously and said: "Dam! Did you see that deer run under the truck????"

Guess you had to be there, huh.....
