There once was a man who loved tractors; he absolutely adored them.
He had tractor models, tractor wallpaper, remote control miniature tractors, tractor board games, and even some tractor anime (which is not easy to find mind you). The only thing that even came close to his love for tractors was the love he felt for his wife. His lifelong soulmate, who didn’t mind his obsession with tractors at all. She didn’t even mind the Cosplay at Halloween, where they would both dress as tractors and spend the night driving along the pavement.
Sadly, his wife was struck one day, a tractor fell off the back of a transport truck. She didn’t die until he was at her side in the hospital. Her dying words were, “Don’t blame the tractor, honey,” and with that, she headed to the big tractor scrapyard in the sky.
Unfortunately, he did blame the tractor; he hated them now with all his mind, body, and soul. He went home and destroyed ALL his tractor-related items, the toys, his wife’s tractor suit, and even his collection of tractor anime. He put it all in a pile and drove over it in his own miniature tractor. Whatever didn’t burn, including the miniature tractor, was thrown into a wood chipper. He then went inside, rarely leaving his home, for 10 years. Finally, on the 10th anniversary of his wife’s death, he decided it was time to get back out in the dating world, plus the cute cashier at the grocery store had been asking him out for a while now, so he called her out to dinner. The restaurant he chose ended up being quite nice, with good food, good service, and great decor. But there was one problem: it was EXTREMELY smoky. So smoky that his date, being an asthmatic, was having some trouble breathing. After noticing her displeasure and trouble breathing, he started breathing in. Inhaling with such force that all the smoke quickly left the dining room, and went into his lungs.
When the room was void of smoke, he stepped outside and released it all into the night. When he rejoined his date, she asked, “How on earth did you do that?”
To which he replied, “I’m an extractor fan.”
