Bwahahaha!! I'm going to go get one of those invisible fabric pens and start writing checks like crazy!! Hopefully by the time they get to the bank they'll be blank
Witnessed this one firsthand when I was 15. Lived on a farm and was doing hay and had this guy "helping out" that didn't like having a 15 year old tell him what to do. I was running the tractor and he was riding in the wagon. I had already scolded him once when he reached in the clear a jam on the baler before the pto had come to a stop. We had another jam and I immediately pushed in the clutch, disengaging the pto. The flywheel on a baler is VERY heavy though and continued to spin. Rather than wait the 10-15 secs it would take to stop, he reached in there, very carefull not to get his hands caught in the knotting mechanism. (complicated piece there!) He was carefull with his hands, but didn't notice his shirt hanging, wich got caught by the pto and in a split second, the inertia from the flywheel lifted him off his feet, flipped him over and ripped his shirt right off!! If the clutch had been engaged, no way he would have lived. Lucky for him, he escaped with a nasty "indian burn" accross his chest and a big bump on his head where he hit the drawbar of the baler. Needless to say he was quite humbled and offered me a very big apology privately afterwards.
At least he didn't get 'degloved'. My favorite joke for friends from town, is speculation on how fast the flail mower would dispose of a body. Muw hah hah hah. Stayin' on topic:
Ya and then the person you gave it to can write out the check for any amount they want and sign your name to it.
