Back when WD Allises, Massey 44's, etc. were everyone's main tractor, a neighbor I'll call "Farmer A" got a combine stuck. He rounded up about four neighbors to help him pull it out.
The plan was, Farmer A would hook his own tractor to the combine, the other four would hook onto the front of his tractor, they would all dig out at once, and pull the combine out. Things went as planned until they all dug out. Farmer A forgot his tractor was in "reverse". When they all took off, Farmer A was pulling backwards against the other four tractors, and they then had a combine plus five tractors stuck.
By the time they got everything pulled out, including the combine, the only thing damaged was Farmer A's ego from all the insults heaped on him.
No, I was not Farmer A.
I did ponder on where the term, "Chinese Fire Drill" came from.
