a lot of people won't get this pic, but if you're a fan of bush planes/back country flying, it is HILARIOUS.

i don't know if you're up on the bush plane tundra tire thing, but it's been kinda like the big 4x4 trucks with loud pipes and big tires kind of deal.
the bigger tires certainly do help in landing and taking off from rugged areas, but then the 'bigger is better' mindset kicked in, and bigger to a point IS more helpful. but at some point it becomes a cartoon. see the pic below. those are on the upper limit of what is useful versus what is silly.
th


so the pic with the terra tractor tires is just really funny to me.

Story checks out.

I see some of these Bush planes that can barely muster 100HP and have a lifting capacity about that of arthritic aunt Shirley, and wonder how they even fly. Usually it's a Citabria or a Piper Cub, which have such huge wing surfaces that a moderate wind gust can lift them off the ground while sitting still (and empty), but adding that kind of weight and rolling resistance to tiny aircraft is just asking for trouble. I could go into detail about how it affects optimal rotation speed, climb rate, service ceiling, fuel burn rates etc, but instead I'll just say "no thanks. If you need to turn your airplane into a Monster Truck with wings, you're doing it wrong".
 
Ole is a farmer in Minnesota. He needs a new milk cow and hears about one for sale over in Nordakota. (That would be North Dakota for you non-Scandahoovians out der). He drives to Nordakota, finds the farm and looks at the cow. He reaches under to see if she gives milk. When he grabs the tit and pulls...the cow farts. Ole is surprised. He looks at the farmer selling the cow, then reaches under the cow to try again. He grabs another tit, pulls, and the cow farts again. Milk does come out however, so after some discussion, Ole buys the cow and takes her home.

He gets back to Minnesota, he calls over his neighbor Sven, and says, ' Sven, come look at dis ere new cow I yust bought. Pull her tit, and see vat happens.' Sven reaches under, pulls the tits - and the cow farts.

Sven looks at Ole, 'You bought dis here cow in Nordakota, didn't yah?' Ole is surprised since he hadn't told Sven about his trip.

Ole replies, 'Yah, dats right. But how'd yah know?'

Sven says, 'My wife's from Nordakota.'
