I enjoyed every one of them and have heard almost all of them before - guess I am part Hillbilly!

None of my tractors would exceed 18mph. I am led to believe that there exist tractors that can reach 25mph. Talking about factory settings, not rebuilt racing tractors. If you need speed, don't use a tractor. They aren't designed for it. At 18mph tractors wobble around on the road. I can't imagine trying to control one at a significant speed.

Don't know about a bumble bee, but a honey bee has a top speed around 30mph. I got this information from my local beekeeper who would load his truck up with honey supers. When he drove home to process them, he would be followed by a swarm of bees, but he could lose them on the road if there wasn't too much traffic. Don't follow a beekeeper if you're driving a convertible.

And bumble bees are more gentle than honey bees. Some people can pet them out in the field. But they don't produce honey in collectible quantities.

I attended graduate school. It was quickly evident that advanced degrees do not confer common sense.

And having gotten through grad school with an advanced degree, I must admit that I am fully capable of doing dumb things. Not because of grad school, it's just me.

That's what my tractor tops out at. 18 mph. Good idea about the convertible.

And some of the dumbest in grad school were addressed as "Professor" though the teaching assistants usually managed to outdo them in the dumb/stupid things contest.

I took a ton of grad courses in multiple subjects but always lost interest before getting to the degree, I did finish my teaching credential and taught 1973 to 2007.
I once sat down and figured out:
1 BA with 3 majors (2 only needed one class to make another BA or BS), 4/5 minors depends on who does the counting and 3 of those only needed one class to become another major. When you combined some of those subjects, I also almost had an MA/MS in two fields if I also took the other required classes and wrote the required papers.

I didn't care much about pieces of paper to hang on the wall after I had my teaching credential. Furthermore, I just took classes I was interested in and always took enough in each field that I could teach classes at the Jr and Sr High level when combined with my credential. Los Angeles Unified required 6 semester units in a subject in your BA/BS field to teach classes, and if the principal gave you an emergency exemption, you could teach things you had 6 units in outside your field. So I taught at least one class for one semester or year in a lot of subjects. Many regular classes, a few higher end Special ED, some AP and 7 years worth of University Preparatory classes at Sr High Level. One Principal even nailed me to teach some English and English Lit classes and a full year of Basic Photography by changing the name to "The History and Practice of Photography" so I could teach it on my history credential. Then I took enough classes to almost get a BS in Cinematography Animation/Photography, but I never did the paperwork or wrote all the papers for the degree because when I got close to the end I got transferred to a school that didn't have any photo labs etc. I did organize and run a Photo Club at that school.

I have had a cat "come" when told. Well, maybe I was holding something the cat loved to eat and it was already running towards the food when I called.
