Re: Bad Idea


LOL....I saved that....Thats great.

One time I had a little ranger, we stacked it down with plywood and felt so bad the wheels came off the ground pulling out of the lumber yard.......We went straight across the street and into the ditch....I couldn't steer.....Bill had to sit on the hood to get it back to the yard.

Re: Bad Idea


Bob, looks like one of your soup kitchen guys ready to go to work. Judging from the shadows, the hour is about right as well.

Re: Bad Idea


I think that shows a guy thinking ahead. He obviously has that set up for a quick and easy slide off delivery if he ever gets it to the driveway.

Re: Bad Idea


That was great. A laugh and a half. I remember seeing something like that but not to that extreme. That is hilarious.

"pondman??? Was that you???"

Nah, he tells his customers that it's standard practice for them to get their own lumber for the project and have it delivered to him.

Actuallly...this would be funnier if I didn't have clients asking me if we do this....

Re: Bad Idea


Second thought. Weekends at HD or Lowe's.
Third one. "Get in honey, the hurricane's gonna be here in 2 hrs. an' we still got to stop for beer!".
