The jokes kinda write themselves [View all]

Spousal unit and I were on the way back from a shopping trip musing about the prevalence of John Deere tractors in Ukraine and videos of them hauling away various bits of Russian military equipment amid the start of planting season. He suggested that John Deere could have a whole new series of commercials featuring Ukrainian farmers, with a percentage of sales going to Ukrainian relief.

"And you think YOU got trouble planting potatoes?"

Your contributions welcome.
