Well, that reminds be of a story.

Back in the young 70s, one of my field men was needing some help putting on some stored grain insecticide trials, so, looking for an excuse to get out of the office, I flew to Montana to help him.

It was a cold, snowy winter day (no, it really was) and we headed up this mountain to an old grain elevator in a small town. We should have worn our respirators (spraying an experimental insecticide) but the lenses kept fogging up, so we didn't.

As we were finishing up, my buddy had breathed in a bit too much of the organophosphate pesticide and had a bad stomach. So, we stopped in at the local bar on the way out of town and had a couple of shots of whisky.

We then noticed that the patrons were starring at us because we were starring at them ..... because they all looked alike ........ in-bred no doubt.

I drove, coming down off that mountain, (in a two wheel drive pick-up truck) while my buddy uneasily dozed off.

I had ran out of smokes so when I saw this ma & pa store off to the right, I turned off (actually I slid off) the road...... just at that time my buddy woke up and yelled "keep it to the left ...... keep it to the left" and grabbed at the wheel.......thinking I was going off the side of the mountain........
