Workers Ear-2011

I am going to tell this story because this is just the type of things my “Farmer” has to deal with.

It is a little gross, so if you have a weak stomach….beware.

Last year two of our workers were at home on a weekend. It was actually a Father and son. Big J and Little J. Well, they had been talking of old time’s at home, I guess! And throwing back some cold one’s------some meaning-----way to many!!!!

As the story was relayed to my husband a couple of day’s after the event.

They were talking about a lady and I suppose they both took a liking to her at some time, when they had been back home. I am not clear if either of them knew it before this time, but with the cold one’s and the talk----a fight broke out between the two. It was an ugly fight, so ugly that one bit part of the other one’s ear off.

Yep, it’s the truth….as yuck as it is!

They did not come and tell “Farmer”. They went to another lady, who speaks their language and wanted her to take him to the hospital. She advised against it.

One reason being---a police report would probably be filed and two—immigration. But, really??? So they did not go. Instead two days later, after the one without the ear did not come to work and “Farmer” asked about him…then one of the other workers said you need to check on him.

Farmer goes to check on him. What did he hand him? Yep, the part of his ear that was missing. Farmer told him that he could not help him, that the ear tissue was dead and that it could not be reattached. Oh boy, not good. Farmer felt sad for Big J, but they are grown men…or are supposed to be.

The funny thing is…watching “Farmer” tell me about it. The one that told him had to do some hand illustrations for “Farmer” to understand what had happened. Language barrier.

Now, Big J has had 4 surgeries on his ear. I wonder if the fight over the women, who is not even any where around here was worth it for these two?

I know this should not be that funny……but we have laughed over the situation a few times!
