Parson, Kansas — 10. “Man, wouldn’t this make a great golf course!”

9. “What did he call that stuff? Johnsongrass? He ought to plant more of it because it seems to do really well.”

8. “No picket fence, no weather vane, no farm wife scattering grain to the chickens in the barnyard—I shouldn’t have bothered bringing my camera.”

7. “My grandpa didn’t have to have a tractor with a cab and an air conditioner and a radio.”

6. “You know, I do a little gardening myself.”

5. “Now, what’s the difference between a Hereford and a heifer?”

4. “I didn’t see any e. coli, did you?”

3. “Must’ve been a real job building that silo around that tree that’s sticking out the top.”

2. “Did you see that green thing that looked like a Humvee on steroids?”

1. Oh #%@*! I knew I shouldn’t have worn these shoes.
