Yeah Katy. I guess I’ve been a pilit since I was a kid. Grew up on a dairy and milked moos and then the left overs I'd pile it over the fence. This greeny stuff flowed into a drain which we crossed by walking over a plank. Well my little brother Michael was following dad down the paddock and went missing. Dad retraced his track and saw two little feet poking up, inverted, through this green stuff. Little brother had walked the plank. Well he was retrieved, hosed down and for 3 days he too had green droppings. Well growing up on a farm does develop ones antibodies so yes that is one of many advantages.

In addition to posting my stories on the Model A forum I email them to a select group of relatives and friends. Brother Michael is one, he will not remember this and if he hasn’t heard it before he can hear it now.
