Obviously what's most boring of all is your entire soulless life... why do you bother to wake up each day... you don't ever do anything, you don't earn the air you breathe. Those of us who are constructive at something, anything, can put that air you waste to better use. How about we make a bargain, you stop breathing and I'll do things that are more interesting.
What I'm wondering about is the gasoline you "waste." Is mowing your "back field" a hobby? Is keeping that "back field" mown really constructive? Are you contending that Steve's respiration is more a waste of oxygen than the engine on your tractor?
That's nonsense. The farmer's market seller either lied or is ignorant. Potatoes grow underground, they're wet all the time. All the big potato growers wash their potatoes right in the field as soon as they're dug, they need to be clean to receive a USDA grade. Whoever was selling dirt encrusted potatoes was either too lazy to clean the spuds when harvested or enjoyed a bigger profit selling dirt.
Interesting. I didn't know that they were supposed to be cleaned to get the USDA grade.
You really don't need to have much IQ to realize that it's not possible to grade a potato you can't see. Visual inspection is actually more important than you may realize... not to mention how can one accurately weigh potatoes (yes, weighing is part of grading) that have probably 15pct of their weight in dirt... just as a customer you definitely got ripped off at the scale.

When produce is ready, it must be harvested or quality will be lost. If the soil is wet at the time of harvest, the produce will carry more soil. Growers can't always have ideal conditions for harvest.

Maybe it is, but it's better than doing nothing.

but mowing the back field is not sheldon's most important work. as far as i can tell, his primary task on earth is calling out lying, greasy wops.
