RESEARCH STUDY 1: Exten
sive testings conducted at both
interior and exterior farm research
sites have conclusively proven
beyond a scientific shred of doubt
that tin poses a health hazard to
the nation’s supply of fingers.
DATA A; Study site - Agricul
ture power unit, i.e. farm tractor.
Study technique - Running finger
parallel to sharp-edge piece of tin
installed as protective device,
while disembarking from power
unit operator seat. Result - paint,
bloodletting, emergency mopping
of bloodspots on floors of adjacent
interior research site. Scientific
conclusion - Tin slices fingers.
DATA B: Study site - Food pre
paration laboratory, i.e. farm
kitchen. Study technique - Run
ning finger parallel to opened lid
of tin can containing sweet pota
toes, while trying to complete
inadequate opening of lid due to
dull can opener knife. Result -
pain, bloodletting, slight delay in
completing meal preparations.
Ph. 717-733-3015
Scientific conclusion - tin slices
fingers.
RECOMMENDATIONS on
completion of Study 1: Commer
cial use of tin should be immedi
ately banned due to potential dan
ger to nation’s blood supply and
proven hazard to fingers. Failure
to replace dull knives on electrical
can opener should be subject to
prosecution to the fullest extent of
the law.
RESEARCH STUDY 2: Preli
minary testing conducted at inter
ior farm research site indicates
direct relationship between abber
rant bovine behavior and human
hair loss.
DATA A: Study site - lactation
laboratory, i.e. dairy bam. Study
technique - Selected bovine (sci
entific name, Bonnie) with uncon
trollable inclinations toward
affectionate nibbling on hair of
human caretakers engaged in milk
removal at regular intervals.
Result - Altered texture and clean
liness of Jiair as well as removal of
undetermined amounts. No
methods found effective in limit
ing hair removal to gray sections.
Scientific conclusion - Erratic
bovine behavior causes hair losses
in as yet undetermined, but poten
tially threatening, amounts.
RECOMMENDATIONS on
preliminary completion of Study
2: A ban on hair-nibbling bovines
to curtail potential of an industry
wide outbreak of bald dairy farm
wives.

While the full impact of these
BCS tillen make a lot of hone feme. Or mule tenie.
They're available in nine baiic aizei that range from 5 to 16 honepower. Which means
there’s one for any size chore or person.
What's more, there's one for any job. You can convert a BCS tiller in minutes to a
lawnmower, sickle bar cutter, garden sprayer, or snow-thrower.
Plus they eat no hay, drink no water, aren't a bit stubborn and require a very small stable.
So why don't you put one in your stable? Visit your BCS dealer for a demonstration.
mm** '
two highly scientific research stu
dies have yet to be determined,
pending feather and more com
plete assemblage and assessment
of a complete complement of
related data, findings would sug
gest that all use of tin and mainte
nance of herds of dairy cows be
possibly discontinued pending
further investigation by all appro
priate and a few totally unrelated
* **
and irrelevant governmental
agendo.
Makes about as much sense as
most “scare” studies though,
doesn’t it? Based on die above
actual data, however, both tin and
hair-nibbling cows are definite
hazards to my health.
E’cuse me, while I go have an
apple and try to hide this balding
spot on my sore head.
