Today I was called to the University of Tennessee experiment station to
work on a tractor. Upon arrival I noticed a couple of military trailers
sitting off in the bushes. After repairing the tractor I inquired as to
the availability of the surplus trailers the response I got was why
would you want to buy those when anyone can go to a sale and buy a (you
guessed it) a jeep in a crate for $75 and of course he knew somebody
that had just done this. So, I got up on my stump and began top preach
the differences in jeeps and the fact that you can't do this. Please
keep in mind these are highly educated people but there response was I
didn't know what I was talking about. so I got down off my stump loaded
it in my truck and went on my way without the trailers.
