Louie from Black Hills, South Dakota, recalls the time his girlfriend fell off a paddleboard and into a lake, at which point his father declared She bit the farm! This peculiar locution is most likely his dad's own combination of two expressions, bite the dust meaning "to crash" or "to take a hard tumble" and buy the farm, meaning "to die." This is part of a complete episode.
