Case and point, I recently decided to move some gates further off the road to allow easier access for semi-trucks to turn onto the road. My plan was to move the gates sixty feet back allowing ample room for any trailer drift. For additional insurance I hung two gates allowing a thirty foot opening just in case. Brand new telephone poles were sunk and concreted into place and gates were hung with the utmost precision. It was a job to be proud of. A work of art. However, foolish me, I didn't consider the strains a Tigercat 630C would exert on the gates with its 250 hp motor pushing its 37,500 pounds of incolent steel and rubber turning my fine accomplishment into ....

I took the lock off in the presence of Einstein himself. Even showed Einstein how the gates were held together by those fancy chain things they include on brand new gates. We even discussed how some idiot truck driver would have no excuse in hitting the gate but what I wasn't counting on was Einstein being an idiot. Of course it wasn't his fault cause he said he didn't see it.
