#2  Sounds like a whole lot of fun! During the work I hope they were playing inspirational music telling the tale of how lil Kim visited to inspect other agricultural efforts and thereafter the yield of the fields he looked at increased 5 fold over the prior year. How cute, singing the praises of lil Kim and Juche idear on their break. Did they have grass or bark soup with sawdust bread for lunch? Wonder how many of them were thinking about why the hell they got to the point where they have to spend their free time planting crops by hand?
