Just got this today in a email:) An old country preacher had a teenage son. It was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do. He didn't seem too concerned about it. One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table three objects: a Bible, a silver dollar and a bottle of whisky. "I'll just hide behind the door," the old Preacher said to himself. "And when he comes home from school this afternoon, I'll see which object he picks up. If it's the Bible, he's going to be a Preacher like me and what a b lessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman and that would be okay, too. But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunkard. And Lord, what a shame that would be." The old man waited anxiously Soon he heard his son's footsteps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room. He tossed his books on the bed. As he turned to leave the room, he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them. Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink. "Lord have mercy," the old man whispered, "he's gonna be a Congressman!"

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
