I do the same thing, but that is bad to do here. So I put them in a bag so you can not see them.

You have to be kidding me, taxing the farmers for the methane output? This is disgusting. Without getting political, I gotta say, this is ridiculous and out of control! It really needs to end.

Yep it's ridiculous.

Insert painfully obvious pun/joke commenting on the validity of the idea here.

not gonna happen.

You are a little fella, ain't you. I am 6'5" and 260. I am always accused of being a pro ball player.

I just called my brother and asked him about this ridicules law. He automatically got all defensive. He started defending the cops. I said I am talking about the law, not the cops and not the posters character.
He then told me that the bottom of his battery is 3 feet of the ground in his crown vic. I made him go measure it. He said it is 2 feet 11 inches. I still doubt that.


Me and the Mrs.

haha, i knew the crown vics didn't have a 3 foot high battery.

and 2.11 still seems a bit wrong to me.

i think it's funny that you got him to measure it though
