Hoes

While driving into the farm this morning I noticed a young man wearing a shirt with something written on it. The saying was "I don't love these hoes!" Now I instantly asked myself how could someone not love a hoe. It's one of the greatest garden tools of all time, right up there with the spade and the pruner.

The guy certainly looked like he enjoyed his salad. He was a big boy making the saying the size of a billboard message along the highway. I wonder if he sits there at dinner saying "I don't love hoes but I love my salad!" Hoes are used in the cultivation of salad makings and thus this guy is a hypocrite.

Personally I love hoes. I work with mine each day working it back and forth slowly. I always wear protection when I'm with my hoe. First a hoe may give you splinters and they hurt and may require medication if it gets infected. Second you don't know who may have been working with your hoe before you so you should always wear gloves. Let's say your neighbor has been lusting after your hoe and while you were out they came over and used your hoe without you knowing. You'd be pretty pissed I bet, I know I would be. Also in my experience a dirty hoe is a good hoe. There's some stories a dirty hoe could tell if anyone would listen.

So in conclusion "I love those hoes."

Nothing like an old hoe with some stories to tell.

Or a good fork.

I don't worry so much about my neighbour lusting after my hoe, so much as him coveting my ass.
