Mom... Dad said that he wanted stakes for CHRISTmas
« on: December 28, 2010, 12:55:58 PM »
Hey folks,
A few weeks ago, my 15 year old daughter had asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I pulled out a trapping catalog and showed her those Berkshire disposable stakes in 18" & 15". I told her that I'd like a dozen of each plus the driver.
Well she told my wife that I wanted stakes and Christmas morning while unwrapping the presents, my wife went into the basement and came back up with a present. She handed it to me and it was pretty cold. I was very puzzled and wondered what it was. Well I had unwrapped it and it was a half dozen ribeye steaks. She said that 2 dozen steaks would have costed us a fortune.
I still was puzzled until my daughter spoke up and said "Mom... I tried showing you in the catalog what stakes Daddy wanted and those were not them". My wife had that "Oh crap" look on her face and asked my daughter "When did you show me the catalog"?
I have to say that my kids, my wife, & I all had a good laugh and today my new Berkshire "STAKES" and driver had arrived.
Karma to my wife for trying!

Happy New Year Folks!

 Nothing wrong with either ones--eat em or beat em.
 You may have been lucky they didn't get you any Berks with 18 inches of cable--it depends on your ground, but most of my customers have been glad when I talked them into the 15 inchers,instead of longer ones.
