I think Harold needs his head examined.


I think that if there is life after death and you come back somehow, you
ought to consider paying attention in primary and secondary school so
you can learn to read at grade level and not go through another life as
an ignorant ass.

According to the general put in charge of this aspect of the island's
recovery, there are many issues holding back distribution of goods and
services and among these are truck drivers who cannot get to the depots
and because of the lack of phone service, can't even call in.

Had you learned to read, you might know this. Apparently the naveee's
standards were so low, your lack of reading comprehension was not a
deterrent.


Yesterday you were complaining that the problem was lack of supplies and
suggested that Trump lend his 757 to help deliver them.

Now you realize that the supplies are there, but the problem has been
distributing them throughout the island.

Make up your mind, will ya?


Harry thinks we should import union drivers from the mainland to
distribute the goods. Where that logic comes from, I don't
know.


Two of my summer jobs just before starting college and after my freshman
year were Teamster Union jobs. The first required me to load 40'
semi-truck trailers with crates and pallets of razor blades, shaving
cream, and other such products, and the second had me loading barrels of
beer and boxes of beer in bottles and cans onto delivery trucks. I doubt
you would have had the brains and brawn to handle either job.


You're right. I am not suited to doing grunt work.


Loading the big trailers properly was an art form. The loads were not
strapped in place, so you had to learn how to stack the big cardboard
crates properly. If the trailers weren't loaded up properly, the load
would shift and tumble and the drivers would really get ****ed. Some of
the products were loaded on the trailers on pallets. I got to drive the
towmotor from the factory floor onto the loading dock and into the
trailer. Pretty heady for an 18-year-old. What were you doing at 18?
Counting your pubic hairs?

The beer trucks were easier to load.

Almost forgot...the fringe benefits...we got a 20-minute shave break
daily at the razor blade factory...so we were asked to show up unshaven.
Cool. At the brewery, somehow a keg of cold beer and paper cups would
appear during the shift. I'm sure that no longer happens.


At 12 years old I drove a forklift. No big whoops. When I worked in a
pallet mill when 16-17 we all,drove forklifts. Did not require a forklift
license then.



Heh. I used to drive the two forklifts my business had sometimes. The
shop crew used to get a kick out of me buzzing around on them. Then,
one day, we had a site inspection by our insurance company. I was asked
if all the forklift operators were certified. That was the end of my
forklift driving career.
