Go ice fishing. Build a snowman. Do something. Then you’ll feel better.” “I don’t think your advice will take,” said Dud. “Herb seems to be intransigent on this one.” We all looked at Dud. “You see, he said he couldn’t stand winter,” Dud continued, “which shows he has a proclivity for intransigence on that particular subject.” We looked at him some more. “If he were to take up a winter hobby,” he continued, “he could stop be- WANTED Old Vehicles • Farm Machinery • Scrap Iron ing intransigent and enjoy things more.” Even Herb was staring at him now. “I usually,” said Herb, “enjoy a proclivity in that direction, but winter is pretty boring, so maybe I really should be intransigent on this point.” “Well Herb,” said Dud, International Brand Trucks Dakota Brand Trailers Various Used Trucks & Trailer PAYING TOP DOLLAR We also carry a complete line of parts, and service all diesel and gas engines. trucktrailerinc.com Call TRUCK TRAILER 402-841-1060 For Price SALES & SERVICE, INC.
