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. ”
