   It has has grown immensley. Since the wank oil industry is
   the same thing as the idiot U.S. farming industry.

   Everything ALWAYS works on farms, for the very simple reasons:

   1) The only thing farmers know about math is barns.
   2) The only thing farmers know about physics is barns.
   3) The only thing farmers know about evolution is barns.
   4) The only thing farmers know about engineering is H.B.O.
   5) The only thing farmers know about advertizing is Exxxon.
