You are doing it all wrong.

You hand him the shovel and tell him to get started - you'll be right
back. Then you reappear after it's all shoveled out and the dust has
been sprayed out. :)

Freakin' Canadians - always doing things backwards.

Don, did you tell him that the sooner he got a hold of a shovel and
got it unloaded, the sooner he'd make his haircut apointment?

Clear evidence of who the bitch in your family is. Ask your wife to buy
him a car.

Don, how old is #2 son? I must just be a mean old guy 'cause I think I'd
have told him he could take it after he unloaded the gravel and washed
the
dust off. Then *I'd* have gone in the house and had a glass of iced tea.
That's because you have the benefit of a spine. Looks like #2 son sees
Don as a milquetoast and takes him about as seriously as the rest of us.
No surprise there.


Don't you have a whole life policy you can con someone into purchasing.
Must be your turn to harass the 'cold contacts'.




Russ is trying to become Skipper.

No, I was just trying to practice what Shortwave preaches and be sociable.

My comment was directed to the insurance 'salesman'.

To be fair.. he just walked back from the gym and had to eat, shower & get
dressed. His haircut appointment was just before he started work.
It still would have gone faster with two pitching in.

He would be a pathetic shadow of Skipper. The only thing in common would be
the nasty attitude. although Skipper was only nasty on occasion...not in
every visit.

He's actually thinking of joining the reserves. It'll be interesting to see
what a little military training will do

I'd buy you a car if you'd go drive it off a short pier.

Wish I had enough hair to have to set up a haircut appointment. I just
walk into the hair cuttery every month.
