[AJD] Pink HAT???] 'That's just not right'

[greg at theoldtractorcompany.com]

I have to inject on this subject that one of the best selling items we had this Christmas at 
the dealership was a girl's John Deere "baby doll" Tshirt, bright pink! Also the pink and white 
hat. Guess it takes something like this to get the girls to notice us tractor boys and our toys 
huh

In the past we have had neon pink JD hats and a prismatic purple JD hat, both of which sold out 
very very fast. Oh well, to each his own I guess
