Lunch


I like to stop at different job sites and take the men out to lunch. Which was the case last week. There was a hotdog stand near by, that's where we went.

There was 3 men. 8 hotdogs @ $1.75 ea $14.00
3 sodas @ $1.50 ea $ 4.50

A bird ****ting on the head of one of the men while we eat. Priceless

My guys normally go for pizza....we have a nice little joint that we go to where 1 slice is equal to 2 normal slices anywhere else.

And great story about the bird....hilarious!

It really doesn't take that long to cook cat or dog, just depends on what they can catch that day.

Re: Lunch


Friday is always the same thing...... Wings and soda all around. Have to get the honey mustard wings for the "old fart, top guy" just cause he can't handle the heat.

Comes in around $40.00 for all of us.

Re: Lunch


Hey Mellison, 'Gary' orders like a pallet of hot dogs (for 16 locations) from a company in New York called "Empire national" are they a big deal out there?
