One day when you might be in the situation of just getting your entire year's income in say just one cheque.
If the plague locusts come through, take that cheque, your year's total income and drop it in amongst the locusts.
Perhaps they will destroy that cheque, your year's income, in only a few minutes and there is no replacement cheque to cover the past year of your work and endeavours.
What would your reaction be as you watched your year's income being destroyed and there wasn't a damn thing you could do about it?
Be very careful what you wish for.
You might get it!
Cheers for schooling me mate

One of the things I love here is that if you're wrong - people will damn well tell you about it.
I can empathize with the farmers, as usual I typed before I used my brain and was joking a little bit.
Can't imagine how horrible it'd be to lose a years pay over something totally out of your control...it'd drive me literally crazy, I'd be a paranoid wreck if I was a farmer so I can respect what they do.
