Submitter either:

A) Failed to RTFA.
B) Doesn't know what a tractor-trailer is.
C) Is making a pretty weak joke about the word "tractor".
D) All of the above.

/Yeah, I get the "underwear" part of the headline. Mormons wear special underwear. Ha ha.
//The farmer part is just stupid.

SnarfVader, here's the picture from TFA:



Doesn't look like an 18-wheeler, big-rig, or other truck to me.

Okay then. I assumed it was a "soiled underwear in fear" kind of joke.

Apparently they were loaded on the bed of the trailer, which was attached to the tractor (ie semi cab). The tractor trailer was going too fast....I can't see that happening to a tractor.

Nice try though.

Evwerybody seems a little cranky this morning. 8 posts in and we have a fight over whats a trailor AND underwear. I'm at work so I have a good reason to be grumpy.

/soiled magic underwear
//is that a new fetish?

Farm fresh underwear?

Farm fresh underpants

Probably not, at least in Japan. You can get used schoolgirls' underwear there so why not soiled magic underwear?

Soiled magic underware? I don't think we need that. There's a few of you out there I'm sure are practicing the black arts...

Underwear soiled with magic? I'm quite sure that's what some girls secrete...

underware underwear

Wow, SnarfVader was right. It was a tractor, on a trailer, being pulled by a pickup truck. (Still sounds like a farmer to me, if you're schlepping a farm tractor around behind your pickup.)

Here's the more detailed article.

/Wouldja please pass the crow? I'm hungry.

Watch the video, It looks to me like it was single axle semi tractor pulling a what is called a tag along trailer, hooked on the rear of the truck with a pintle (new window) hitch.

The tractors appeared to be a pair of Farmall's Most likely on his way to some fair or farm show. They looked to nice for working farm tractors. So technically the headline is accurate. The tractor did flip, and it did hang off of the side of the bridge.

dbirchall: Wow, SnarfVader was right. It was a tractor, on a trailer, being pulled by a pickup truck.

I'll share that some of that crow with you.
If your going to haul that much behind a pick up at least get a goose neck trailer. More control that way.

I think the vagueness of the first article has us all eating a little crow. Apologies for my grumpiness earlier.

Also, this is a tractor-trailer. The article fails badly there. Should've said "tractor and trailer."

tehotherbilly: Soiled magic underware? I don't think we need that.

For the love of all that's Holy, WHY NOT??!?!

I hate mormons at least as much as the next guy, and probably more, but the whole OMGWTFBBQ, MORMONS WEAR TEH MAGIC UNDERWEAR default is really, really tired.

I don't remember any particularly odd underwear on either of the Mormon gir... um, I've said too much.

His other problem.

Boy, what you doin hangin round them overpasses?

/Hey guise what's going on in this thread?

Coupla nice lookin' Farmalls too..pity...wonder if they were Super "C" or H models...


Tuff toys.

you know...I never understood that underwear thing. If I was falling off a cliff, my sphincter would be so tight, if anything passed through it would be turned to diamonds.

zopi: Coupla nice lookin' Farmalls too..pity...wonder if they were Super "C" or H models...

Maybe the one still attached to the trailer is an H, but the one hanging off the bridge looks like it had the shorter hood of a C, don't think it's an A, but it's tough to tell.

zopi: Tuff toys.

LMAO!!! you really didn't call a 13 letter crap spreader tough did you ?

BAHAHAHAHAHA, ok maybe, at least till they come up against a WD Allis or an Ollie

Cousin has an H on his farm, about the only thing its any good for is pulling empty hay wagons around.

The A had an offset drivetrain I thought.

If it was a McCormick Deering I could tell you for sure, but not these newfangled tractors.

I've been looking into the reality of stress-induced defecation. I am aware of an epinephrine-induced increase in GI-motility (Adrenaline-induced for all of you United Kingdomites), but am unable to substatiate epinephrine's effects on the anal sphincter. My (unreliable) sources differ.

Oh, does anyone know or care why a guy named "hoyt clagwell" would be so interested in a story about tractors?

...or, for that matter, so interested in why people shiat themselves under stress?
