[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2275675, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]How many here have ever "washed" their hands with dirt? I'll bet that there are darn few hands in the air. Back when we were on the farm, one might be literally miles and miles from a source of water, other than what was in one's water jug. (Incidentally, those water jugs weren't the 5-gallon ones seen on the back or sides of work trucks.) If one was in a situation of having to repair a bearing on a farm implement, it usually involved packing the bearing with grease. If you've never done that, one puts a glob of grease in the palm of one's hand and then pushes the bearing into that glob of grease to get it to work in around the balls or cylinders of the bearing. I guarantee that it makes a real mess on one's hands. Then, once done, one picks up a handful of dirt, hopefully without stickers, and rubs one's hands in that dirt to remove the grease. Once that is done, a little dab of one's drinking water may be used to remove some of the dirt. What is then left to do is dry one's hands, and sometimes, all one has is their pants legs. Ah, I miss the simpler days. Oh, and I can not ever remember have to take off from work because I was sick. I have taken off because of injuries from being thrown from a horse and for a back thrown out from digging post holes. Man.....chiropractors are NASTY. My first time with one of them, I commented afterwards that it was the first time in my life that I had paid to get beat up. [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
