Unreaping



Unreaping: verb. The action of gluing the reaped parts of a crop back onto where they grew from. This is very practical when harvesting crops too early or when wanting to give plants a chance to grow a bit further before they are unmercifully torn out of the ground and turned into consumer goods. Unreaping was, as the Texan legend says, invented by a rather simple and dim-witted farmer who tried to harvest his wheat a whole month early. Realising his mistake only after stashing all of the wheat up in the barn, the farmer took it out again and purchased two barrels of superglue. He then proceeded to find the stalk of each plant and stuck the crop back on there. By the time he finished, it was already winter and all of his crops froze, leaving the farmer to contemplate the unfairness of unequal IQ distribution.
