Farmer Proves Love Stinks With Valentine

Nothing says "I love you" like a half-mile wide heart made out of manure.

A southern Minnesota man created the Valentine's Day gift for his wife of 37 years in their farm field about 12 miles southwest of Albert Lea.

Bruce Andersland told the Alberta Lea Tribune that he started the project with his tractor and manure spreader Wednesday and finished Thursday.

His wife, Beth, says it's the biggest and most original Valentine she has ever received. She says some people might think it's gross, but she says it's cute and "Why not do something fun with what you got?"

She says the heart would be darker except for the recent heavy snowfall that mixed with the manure.

12 miles southwest of Albert Lea? Isn't that Iowa?
Either way this spells out Love Stinks. Having to have a holiday to remind folks that at least once a year ya just gotta tell your significant other "I Love You", well, is just palinshly retarded.
