"Well...
Just give me 40 acres
And I'll turn this rig around
It's the easiest way
That I've found"

Anyone remember that one?

Dates from the late 70's I think. I don't know who sang it or any more of the lyrics. I've never been a country fan, but I remember Uncle Tom had this on an 8-track in his car.

Cheers,
Eric

The reason i asked is because the company I work for is moving from our current rat infested location, to a new rat free building. Another coworker and i were guessing on weither or not a semi could turn around.

Chris

P.S.
When i say rat infested i mean rat infested. Rat traps have actually been stolen by rats. We now have to chain them to something when we set them.
