Antique farm equipment is a staple at rural Minnesota parades. But few agricultural relics evoke gleeful screams from hordes of children.
Tom Konz’s rig does exactly that. Instead of grain, Tom has repurposed his 1967 John Deere combine to dispense candy.
“They don't know what to expect,” laughs Tom, “and all of a sudden candy comes out.

Antique farm equipment is a staple at rural Minnesota parades. But few agricultural relics evoke gleeful screams from hordes of children....
As we grow older, it's important that we keep mentally alert. The saying; "If you don't use it, you will lose it," also applies to the brain, so..... Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence. Take the following test and determine if you are losing it or are still "with it."
OK, relax, clear your mind and.... begin.
Take this test to determine if you are still with it and go to Question 2.
2. What do you put in a toaster?
Answer: "bread."
If you said "toast," then give up now and go do something else. Try not to hurt yourself.
If you said, "bread," go to Question 3.
3. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows drink?
Answer: Cows drink water.
If you said "milk," please do not attempt the next question. Your brain is obviously over stressed and may even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with reading something more appropriate, such as Children's World.
" If you said "water," proceed to Question 4.
4. If a red house is made from red bricks, and a blue house is made from blue bricks, and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a greenhouse made from?
Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said, "green bricks," what the devil are you still doing reading these questions?????
If you said "glass," then go on to Question 5.
5. Twenty years ago, a plane was flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. If you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines failed.The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure..... Unfortunately the third engine fails before he has time to attempt an emergency landing, and the plane crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany.
Where would you bury the survivors? . . . in East Germany or West Germany or in "no man's land"?
Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone from a plane crash. 🤭 Your efforts would not be appreciated
If you said, "Don't bury the survivors," then go on to Question 6.
6. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?
Answer: One degree. If you said, "360 degrees" or anything other than "one degree," you are to be congratulated on getting this far, but you are obviously out of your league. Turn in your pencil, and exit the room. Everyone else proceed to Question 2.
7. Without using a calculator -- You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus, and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven.
What was the name of the bus driver?
Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember? It was YOU!!
Now pass this along to all your "friends" and hope they do better than you did!
8. BONUS QUESTION
A bottle of wine cost £10. The wine was worth £9 more than the bottle.
How much was the bottle worth?
A common wrong answer is £1.
Now, if the bottle were really worth a £1, then the wine, being worth £9 more than the bottle, would be worth £10. Hence the wine and bottle together would be worth £11.
The correct answer is that the bottle is worth 50 pence and the wine is worth £9.50. Then the two add up to £10.
If you said, "£1" That's okay You're not thee only to miss this question. Now go on to Question 9.
9. There is a house with four walls. Each wall faces south. There is a window in each wall.
A bear walks by one of the windows. What colour is the bear?
Answer to the Bear Puzzle is...
White.
If all the walls face south, the house is at the north pole, and the bear, therefore, is a polar bear.
If you said, "White" Kudos to you!! and then go on to Question 10.
10. Without using a calculator -- You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus, and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven.
What was the name of the bus driver?
Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember? It was YOU!!
Now pass this along to all your "smart friends" and hope they do better than you did!

Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Share everything.
Live a balanced life.
Be aware of wonder.
Clean up your own mess.
Take a nap every afternoon.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Put things back where you found them.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
-
Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
When you go out into the world, watch for traffic,
hold hands and stick together.
Remember the little seed in the plastic cup? The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that. Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup -- they all die. So do we.
And then remember the book about Dick and Jane
and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere.
The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation.
Ecology and politics and sane living.
Think what a better world it would be if we all -- the whole world -- had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and cleaned up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

When you see geese flying in a "V" formation,
you might be interested in knowing what facts scientists have discovered about why they fly that way.
-
LESSON: People who share a common
direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker
and easier because they are traveling on the trust of one another.
2. FACT: Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front.
-
LESSON: There is strength and power
and safety in numbers when traveling in the same direction with those
with whom we share a common goal.
-
LESSON: Each of us needs to take our
turn in giving direction for the good of the group.
-
LESSON: We all need to be
remembered with active support and praise.
-
LESSON: We must stand by each other
in times of need.

Perhaps it’s time we stop rolling our eyes and start listening. Chances are, we could all learn something

BY Erma Bombeck.
I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in the "Good" living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.
I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment realizing that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later, now go get washed up for dinner."
There would have been more "I love you"...more "I'm sorry" ...but mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it..live it..and never give it back.
I would tell all my friends that I need and love them and that my life would be empty without them.
