OT Lame Joke (PG 13)

The Lame Joke of the Week, courtesy of Car Talk:

An elderly man in Florida had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large pond in the back, fixed up nicely: Picnic tables, horseshoe courts, a volleyball court, and some apple and peach trees. The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming.

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond and look it over, as he hadn't been there in a while. He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit. As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond.

He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave!" The old man frowned, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked."

Holding the bucket up he said, "I'm here to feed the alligator."

Old men can still think fast.

I don't think grease monkeys are dumb by any stretch of the imagination anyway. Do you know how to fix everything that goes wrong with your car?

How about a plumber or electrician when you need one too. I don't have any of them in the family but sometimes it sure would be nice. I wouldn't give up Dave (our car guy) and his wife (she does the office stuff) for anything! I was thinking about how high tech the car dealership has gotten too.

Yeah a carpenter would be nice, too. I'd like to have an addition to the house and a nice, huge deck. LOL.

I heard a little ditty years ago about mechanics being compared to brain surgeons. Brain surgeons go to school for years and learn to work on one thing all the time and it never changes. Mechanics have to keep up-to-date with technology every year on new cars and be able to take an engine apart and put it back together (using all the parts ;-) I know it's a stretch, but I thought it was cute.

I also heard a speech one time and the person said to be nice to everyone -- the janitor has the keys to the building and the secretary has control of the files.

thx Taria,

Debbie

I've always tried to live by this. Everyone you work with is equally important. Some people are more highly qualified. Some are more highly paid. But unless they could phone in sick for a month without you noticing, they are all important.

Yes. I fact. I know what you mean. They play act being silly, and never let on that they are PH'ds. This is part of the "character" they play (or play up) on the radio.
