A watched pot never boils, but it does get paranoid.
~Lesley Wake~

```````````````````````````

Three building contractors were visiting a tourist attraction on the same day. One was from New York, another from Texas, and the third from Florida.

At the end of the tour, the security guard asked them what they did for a living. When they all replied that they were contractors, the guard said, 'Hey, we need one of the rear fences redone. Why don't you guys take a look at it and give me a bid?'

So, to the back fence they all went to check it out.


First to step up was the Florida contractor. He took out his tape measure and pencil, did some measuring and said, 'Well I figure the job will run about $900. $400 for materials, $400 for my crew, and $100 profit for me.'

Next was the Texas contractor. He also took out his tape measure and pencil, did some quick figuring and said, 'Looks like I can do this job for $700. $300 for materials, $300 for my crew, and $100 profit for me.

Without so much as moving, the New York contractor said, '$2,700.'

The guard, incredulous, looked at him and said, 'You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?'

'Easy,' he said $1,000 for me, $1,000 for you and we hire the guy from Texas.'

````````````````````````````

At an exhibition of military painting a visitor was admiring a picture.

'What a great realist that painter is!' he exclaimed.

'What painter?'

'The one that painted this picture 'Soldiers at Work'.'

'Yes, but something is wrong there. Those soldiers aren't working at all!'

'That is just the greatest stroke of realism in the picture!'

`````````````````````````````````

From the Northwest Florida Daily News comes this story of a Crestview couple who drove their car to Wal-Mart, only to have their car break down in the parking lot.

The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car in the lot. The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection, she saw a pair of male legs protruding from under the chassis. Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones.

Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward, quickly put her hand UP his shorts, and tucked everything back into place. On regaining her feet, she looked across the hood and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by.

The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his forehead.

Good morning everyboomie. welcome


It's a nuther get up and go to work day for me. They've got me doing 9:00 to 5:00 this week, so I don't have to work freight. They don't want me to hurt my back again, which is still hurting, but much much better. yes


"Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living." snicker


My ASM (senior manager) was asking me how I was doing. I made a comment about being in worse condition because I wasn't working as many hours now. She says, I'll hire you back at full time if you want. lol


It's nice to be missed.........but "no!" wink


I'm not crazy at all about 9 to 5 schedules though. shame


I can't really do anything before going in to work, but at least I have time to walk my doggies after I get home. lab


Actually they walk me. The little one likes to run in circles around me and wrap me up in her leash. shocked


Have a great day everyone.

Good morning everybody. wave2

It's a beautiful morning here, but yesterday was cold and extremely windy. I went to bed with a scratchy throat, and woke up sick with a very sore throat, and sinus congestion. razz

I woke up at about 4:30 or 5:00, and I've been up since 6:00. I leave for work in about 45 minutes. yes

Gotta go drink another gallon of coffee real quick. It feels good on my throat. wink

Cheers everyone.

Have a great day. wave2

Terrific Tuesday ya'll puppy

It's cold in AL. They are saying the "S" word, though it is bright and sunny out there, so the snow must be north of us. They are also saying 20 to 30 mph winds with a high of 40. Today will be a stay in the house day. Laundry, desk clearing, and cooking books will commence.

Joe, glad your back is getting better. 9 to 5 means you don't have to get up before the sun. That's got to be good. Hot salt water gargles might help your throat. Gentle hugs!

Ana wave

Gerry, stay warm.

Connie, you stay warm too. Is your hot tub up and running?

Gail, run safely and have fun.

Back later. Off to cook books!
