Don't Whiz on an Electric Fence: Grandpa's Country Wisdom

The author of Advice from a Country Farmer and When I Am an Old Coot drops some commonsensical knowledge on country folk everywhere. Henry Ward Beecher said “the common sense of one century is the common sense of the next.” That said, these pocket-sized humor books pack quite a bit of punch—lines that is. With more than 1.5 million copies in print, an all-new look will leave a whole new generation in stitches! From grandpa’s mouth to his ears, former judge Roy English shares what he’s learned about life, success, and farm animals. • “Don’t name a pig you plan to eat.” • “Early to bed and early to rise will pretty much shut down the domino game.” • “Trouble is a private thing; don’t lend it, and don’t borrow it.” • “Country fences need to be horse high, pig tight, and bull strong.” • “The weather can make a farmer look mighty smart, or mighty dumb.” “Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce.”
