A Russian arrives in New York City as a new immigrant to the United

He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says,

The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am a Mexican."
The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for
having such a beautiful country here in America."
The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese."
The new arrival walks farther, and the next person he sees he
stops,shakes his hand, and says,"Thank you for wonderful America!
That person puts up his hand and says,
"I am from Middle East.I am not American."
He finally sees a nice lady and asks,"Are you an American?"
She says, "No, I am from Africa."
Puzzled, he asks her,"Where are all the Americans?"
The African lady checks her watch and says,*
"Probably at work."

The line should have read, "You are mistaken, I am a Mexican on the way to my second job."

But, after all, it was a joke.

I had a Mexican over yesterday to do some yard work. His helper failed to show. So he and I spread about 12 cubic yards of mulch. He busted my ass, but gave me $100 for helping, which meant I owed him only $250. Did a great job. Will definitely have Carlos back again.


Thats enough to do a bed 2 foot wide 3 inches deep and 648 feet
long. Wow

I'll have to take some pictures. We have a lot of area under mulch.


12 cubic yards? You are full of ****. A full sized pickup truck bed
might hold two cubic yards of mulch if you can tie a tarp over it. That
would be six full pickup loads. If you buy the mulch in the typical two
cubic foot bags Home Depot sells, 12 cubic yards would amount to about
165-170 bags. I buy the equivalent of 100 bags a year to recover our
planting beds. Unless you are covering your entire lot, leaving no room
for grass, you aren't spreading 12 cubic yards or anything close to it.

Seems like he just can't help himself.

Big quantities, are bulk purchase, and a big dump truck delivers. If you
bought it in 2-3 cubic foot bags, you will be paying way too much.

That is true. I got that 18 wheeler for less than the best deal we
could find on 2 pallets of bagged mulch. We had access to a machine so
bags would just slow us down.

Very true. I thought buying the bags might save some work. I've always bought the bulk, usually 8
yards. This year we've got a bigger 'bed'.

Trust me, Donnee, I've not come close your buddy's level of dishonesty. But I gotta admit I was off
a bit in my calculations.

It could be that Donnee was simply trying to appease Harry, just like he does with his drinking
accusations directed at Bill.

I'm sure he doesn't lie to you Tim, but he sure does take delight in constantly throwing that term at other posters.
Maybe he's lying when he does that.

Do you think Tim and I have a different 'rec.boats' than you do? He sees the same posts you do,
Donnee.

You say, "...throwing that term at other posters." What other 'posters' (plural). I can think of
only one, Krause, who has been caught repeatedly in lies.

Are there more? Or are you just making up another story?
