Seeing there's some interesting old maps, these featured here recently.

Someone looked at these from modern eyes and figured they knew their land in those less informed and less scientific days.
I know all about planting wheat, but how does one plant sheep?
Probably butt side down so they can breathe.

Cool maps thanks for the link. 😎
Very cool! I've always wanted to visit Australia. Seems like my kind of place. Thanks for sharing!

I'm sure there are plenty of Texans that would be all in for the ride....

A wander is walking around Oklahoma and he comes upon an Oklahoma farmer at his farm. He looks around and then approaches the farmer.
"How is everything here on your farm? Are you treating your animals well?"
"Yes," replies the Oklahoma farmer, "very well."
The wander, says I can speak to animals and for a meal and a nights rest, I will make sure your animals are happy.
The Oklahoma farmer said I treat my animals very well, but knock yourself out.
"Great," says the wander. He looks over and sees a cow in the barn. "You mind if I ask the cow how you're treating her?
"Cow no talk," says the farmer.
Regardless, the wander approaches the cow and starts chatting with it, asking it how things are going. "Well, he takes good care of me. He milks me every morning and keeps us in good pastures with good grass to eat. I'm doing just fine."
The farmer's mouth is agape as he cannot believe what he is hearing! The wander returns to the farmer's side and asks, "How bout the horse? Can I chat with him about the farm?"
Again the farmer replies, "Horse no talk." But the wander approaches the horse, asks him how things are, and the horse says, "Things are pretty good. The farmer brings me fresh hay every week and we go riding every Friday to check the fences. Not bad at all, very happy to be here."
The farmer nearly can't believe his own eyes and ears. He is scratching his head in bewilderment as the wander returns.
The wander says, "So, how about I talk to one of your sheep..."
The Oklahoma farmer breaks in quickly, "Sheep lie! Sheep lie!"
Crap! They had GIS back then?? Some serious topology going on there.
I think it's so funny how people have made mapping so complex these days..assigning new terms to functions that people were doing manually many years ago.
An Oklahoma farmer and a Texas farmer were walking a field one day and came upon a sheep with her head caught in the fence. Seizing the opportunity the Okie dropped his drawers and violated the poor sheep.
The Texan had an incredulous look on his face. The Okie had to ask, "You wanna get you some of that?" The Texan nodded, dropped his pants...and then got down and stuck his head in the fence.

I had a friend from Oklahoma, once tell me if you hold a Sheep on a edge of a cliff she will keep backing into you, allowing her to do all of the work,and not being able to escape across the Red River into the Texas Sheep Safe Zone.

The proper technique is to place each of her back feet inside your corresponding boot...then push her front legs off the creek bank..

Ah, yes, the three pillars of humor: sodomy, bestiality, and anti-Texas sentiment.
Back in the day when email and internet first appeared, the first online image/joke was something very similar to this, except I think the bike was yellow:
And depending on who you were the caption would be "Aussi farmer out on a date" or "Kiwi farmer out on a date" and so ensued the first great virtual debate, i.e. about which country the image actually came from. Sounds like everyone was wrong and it was neither Australia or New Zealand.

The sentiment in my neck of the woods following the pipeline boom :):

I'd say from looking at the landscape and the genetics of the high-bred motorcycle operator that's definitely Texas...
Wow. They say a good map should take you somewhere.
It can broaden the mind. 💡
