Your funniest "Farming Scares the Normals" story

[RiverOtter]

I also keep dairy goats and besides my own, I'm often the one that friends call for minor kidding help (I have small hands)

Farm supply stores sell lubricant for such things, but the Dollar General has small containers that are cheaper per ounce, easier to handle than the big farm jug, and single use size is always sterile. So every year I stock up.

So in I innocently wander into the store. I need the lube and it's early spring, spring cleaning, I need some big, sturdy garbage bags. So I grab 8 bottles of personal lubricant and the garbage bags are in the auto and hardware aisle, oooh, look! They have that Gorilla tape in stock! Grab one of those, that's always useful. There are a couple of cheap bungee cords on the same shelf, again, always useful, a couple of those go into the cart. On my way out, I grab a bag of chips because the kids aren't with me and I'll actually get to eat a few.

It wasn't until I'd put everything on the counter and cracked a little joke about "Can't wait to get into that" ... meaning the chips, that I noticed the look of horror on the cashier's face and realized exactly *what* I had just laid out....

More like farming scares the mortals. I was at my county fair, showing my hen to random passersby (most mortal) like I always do and this one kid takes one look at the chicken barn and runs away screaming his head off. Another kid was gingerly petting my hen and then I spread her wing so the kid could see it and she ran away screaming her head off. That's some serious alektorophobia. And there was this cop who wanted to hold Ginger, and I've got this cool pic of me with the cop holding Ginger.
