 "Hey Farmer Small, where were you yesterday?" "I went down to celebrate the Grumpy Farmer's birthday with him. " "Oh right," I said. "I was going to send him a card." "That's pretty lame," said Farmer Small. "I got him a present."  "What did you get him?" I asked. "A great present!" said Farmer Small. " You know how he grows things in cans? I got him a greenhouse with soil pellets." "That sounds nice, " I said. "What seeds are in there?" "Seeds?" asked Farmer Small innocently. "Did you tell him that it doesn't come with seeds?" "Not yet," said Farmer Small. Hmmm. I watched as Famer Small walked by the tomato plant in the can that the Grumpy Farmer had given him for Christmas. Nothing had sprouted yet. I suspect that it may be a long time before the Grumpy Farmer hears that his gift didn't come with seeds.

This was a really quality site. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good site…
