Craig's List
FIFTY YEAR OLD MANURE SPREADER - $1

Date: 2012-02-14, 10:21AM
EST Fifty-year old manure spreader. Not sure of brand. Said to have
been produced in Kenya. Used for a few years in Indonesia before being
smuggled into the US via Hawaii. Of questionable pedigree. Does not
appear to have ever been worked very hard. Apparently it was pampered
by various owners over the years. It doesn't work very often, but when
it does it can really spread the manure and sling it for amazing
distances. I am hoping to retire this manure spreader by this
November. I really don't want it hanging around getting in the way. I
would prefer a foreign buyer that is willing to relocate this manure
spreader out of the country. I would be willing to trade this manure
spreader for a nicely framed copy of the United States Constitution. *

Sounds way to unreliable to me. I'd sooner do a ground-driven. No pedigree, "American Made" just a serious worker. Hopefully by Nov. I'll have found the exact one I'm looking for. ;)

If it does change back we'll be neck deep in manure, then have to occupy a few more countries for the excess.

Would you be willing to hold onto it for me for another 4 years, I may want to pick up a pair of them if one doesn't work like it was promissed too. You know Bill Clinton was a farmer, he put the Bushes outside the whitehouse, the pansies in the military, and the Flowers he put in the bed.

Oh for christ's sake sam, what has your hero done but go to war and spend money. Indefensible.

good luck but i believe that is the piece of crap model. although it spreads manure like heat spreads butter, its sadly built like a rusty ole yugo... a clunker from another country copied by a defunct company. after sitting four years it really reeks :sick:

When buying my manure spreaders, I always try to estimate how much feces will be flying so I know how big a spreader to buy. Let's take little miss piglets Spanish jaunt as a measure of cost accounting and manure estimation. Never mind the Chicago mafia estimates of $500,000 costs, let's see much much manure was really spread. Hey, the girl has not made a decent vacation in two months - give her a break.

I am sure the Presidential 747 uses more than a regular 747 which uses say 36,000 gallons of fuel on a 10 Hour Flight. At $6.00 a gallon that's $216,000.00 for fuel on a one-way flight. So it's $432,000.00 for a round trip flight. When you combine all the C5 Transport planes for the Limos, Suburbans, Secret Service Vehicles you end up with a fleet of at least 10-15 planes for this entourage. On top of that there are Re-Fueling planes following, F15 & F18 / Raptor Fighter Jets following, an Aircraft Carrier Close by and other classified protection measures. OK guys what did I miss here. I would say the dollar Figure is closer to $20 million. My tractor can't spread that much c rap.

No, I like his hobby. Bush went home, with his wife, and this fool has his jetting about the country and world in the worst economy in 90 years.

I got the right Sam, and the right president, and I didnt have to think long.

At least you finally admitted that he inherited the worse economy in 90 years, it takes some doing to try & fix everything that was screwed up. I bet he wishes he could just go hide at a ranch somewhere & let the country fall apart but that ain't his style. It always takes a lot longer to climb out of a hole than to jump in. Now somebody has to spread some fertilizer before you can expect anything to start growing. That is except for the war on drugs when Bush got the Agent Orange & Miracle Grow mixed up & more than doubled the crop in Afghanistan.

Poor guy signed on at a farm where the previous manager had been filling lagoons with poop for eight years. Who knew they were 300 feet deep?
