When I started back to college I got a part time job working 4 hrs a day at the Dept of Employment.

I was matching job orders with the data file of applicants.

One day this 70 year old farmer came in looking for a farm hand. He tells me "I need an experienced all around farm hand from age 50 up.

I tell the guy that I got a half-dozen well qualified younger guys, 35-40 who would get a lot more work done than an older guy.

He insists, "I want a good hand over 50!"

I ask him why, he tells me" "I have a 22 year old Ford tractor, and a daughter the same age; and the last thing I want is a rod throwed in either one."

Woooo Hoooo!! Good One!!

I'm afraid the 50-year-old age does not give full protection against both types of accidents
