#5, no doubt about it, #8, good one, #15,sounds like me doing home plumbing,after the 2nd trip to the hardware store I change to another store so the 1st store won't make fun of me!
#8 These cars are driven by little old ladies who can't see over the dash. Or can't see, period. I watched one lady knock over a handicap sign because the hood hung over the curb so far, just like this one. If anybody was behind that sign they would have needed a trip to the hospital for a concussion and 30 stitches. She apologized for startling me.
The old man retires and sells some stock so he can live the sweet life that includes a Cadillac Fleetwood. He dies in a couple years leaving the caddy to the widow, she can't afford anything new so she drives it around town till it rusts out. I saw her back into a strip mall window once, the big plate glass one. Pulled up a bit and went into the bakery to do her business and was surprised to be met by a cop when she came back out. Daryl
# 15 Add to that any home repair or improvement project. Never utter the following: "This should be easy". It is almost a 100% certainty the Murphy's Law WILL come into play.
6) Actual conversation I heard on FM radio in Atlanta one Time:
Lady DJ: Call in and tell us about a rock star that has passed away that you'd like to hear. Caller: Kurt Cobain. Lady DJ: I meant a rock star whose passing away made you sad.
#1. The correct answer to "a coworker needs both arms to hug his wife" is "yeah, I thought about telling you I needed both arms to hug her as well, but thought you'd just get upset."
By the way, how long after a coworker dies of Covid is it okay to hit on the widow. Asking for a friend.

Every fifteen minute repair is just one broken bolt away from four hours.

And never start a repair job on a Friday afternoon.
ReplyDelete#18: I stopped talking to my wife for two weeks. She didn't notice.
ReplyDeleteI stopped in June or July. She finally noticed in October, but didn't say anything until March.
