Ring .... Ring ... Ring ....


"(Peladu) speaking"

"Hello (Peladu), it's Mary."

"Hi Mary, I am gonna be there in an hour, would you like a cup of coffee or something?"

"Oh, no, no thanks I have a fresh pot here if you would like."

"Thanks anyway, but I have to make a few stops and need a new cup."

"Well the reason I called is because "Mr. Poopy" (actual name not used) is throwing up in the back yard, and I told him to just go home for the day."

"In your back yard?"

"Yea, in the back, near the side, you know along the fence, he's throwing up, and has been out there for a while and I offered him a glass of water or something to drink but he said no and I just told him to maybe go home and rest until he feels better."

"Is he still in your backyard?"

"Yea, he's still leaning up against the fence, you want me to give him the phone?"

"No, but whats the other guy doing, did he show up today?"

"Yea, he's in the backyard too."

"He's throwing up too?"

"No, well I don't think he is, I think he is just pretty much laughing at Mr. Poopy."

"You're kidding me? He's laughing at him?"

"Well he was, I don't know about now, but earlier he was."

"How long has he been throwing up?"

"Geeze, I am not sure but I know that there were out in the back for a long time, maybe an hour, that's why I looked out there. I just feel so sorry for the poor guy."

"Thanks Mary, I am kinda surprised that they didn't call me yet, I will call them now and see what's going on, and I will still see you in a little while."

"Bye"

"Bye"



Ring...Ring

"Hey boss, you're not going to believe this, but Mr. Poopy is barfing all over the place...dude it's bad."

"What do you mean all over the place? In the house? On the floors? In the basement."

"No, no, he made it to the patio and he started to ralph...we are in the backyard now, he's still kinda going, but there's no way he has anything left to come up."

"But, but, but..why the backyard, why not a toilet like all other human beings?"

(he asks Mr. Poopy my question)

"Man, he thought the fresh air would stop it, but dude, it's bad." (little giggle)

"What's so funny? Why you laughing at him?"

"Dude, if you saw his face, you would laugh too..."

"Ok funny boy, send him home, get the garden hose, wash everything away, I don't want to see or smell anything when I get there in a half hour or so."

"I don't know man, there's a lot."

"Half hour.....bye"

"Alright, bye"



I wish I was making this up ....

And people say that when you're self-employed you get to set your own hours, decide what you're gonna do each day, you're in control. Yeah, right. Hope your guy was sick with something other than 'the 26 oz. flu'. Hang in there.

Re: Ring .... Ring ... Ring ....


I've got you beat on this one.
Got a call about a "missing" worker on the jobsite...
Everyone wrote it off as the guy taking off, but I decided to look around a little while. I looked all over for this freaking guy, but found him nowhere. Oh well, guess he left, I'll take off back to the office. So, I went to go jump in my truck but stopped at the port-o-let to take a wizz first. Opened the door and found Mr. MIA, sitting there COMPLETELY NAKED and passed out cold on the toilet. It took me over a minute to wake him up, his clothes nowhere to be found, and when he finally did I fired him on the spot (the guy was wasted). The kicker though is that even he had no idea where his clothes were and STILL ASKED ME FOR A RIDE. Yeah.... RIGHT!

Re: Ring .... Ring ... Ring ....


The sound of a water hose coming from the rear of the house, I walk up.

"Whats going on?"

"Hey boss, is this good enough?"

"No, don't just wash down half her patio, wash down the whole thing while you are at it. He puked on the patio."

"Yea, then he puked there, and there, and there, but most of it was over there."

"Just like a (flippin) dog."

"Dude, he looked at me and said something like 'backyard' and then he walked up the stairs. About twenty minutes later I went upstairs and saw he was against the fence. Dude, it was bad, I almost puked."

"Yea right, I was told that you were laughing at the poor guy."

"Man, the face he would make when he was chuckn' was funny man. Come on, I know you, you would have laughed too."

"No I wouldn't, I would have been too busy yelling at him for not using the toilet like every other grown man would have, what an idiot."

"Yea, you would have, but I thought the chit was funny. He's mad at me though."

"I'm not to happy with you either."

"Why, wud I do?"

"You mean to tell me that it takes 40 minutes to spray that stuff away?"

"Dude, you don't understand, it was bad."

"Well leadman, half a day wasted, you want to go back to work, or you want to go home?"

"Yea, if it's cool with you I'll skate and be back in the AM."

"Roll up the tools and get out of here. I'll call Mr. Poopy later tonight and if he's not feeling better it's me and you tomorrow."

Talked to Mary, she had no problems ... Dr. Peladu for a day.

Re: Ring .... Ring ... Ring ....


Mr. Poopy and Leadman are not of the drinking / drunkard type at all.
These young guys can hammer them on the weekend, but never had a problem with either of them before and have no reason to believe that he was anything other than sick.

Maybe he ate some bad Spinach.

Re: Ring .... Ring ... Ring ....


My wife had food poisoning on shrimp once. It scared me, she threw up so violently I thought she would pass out. Believe me it might be better that he did go outside and not in the bathroom if he was as sick as my wife was.

Re: Ring .... Ring ... Ring ....


Can't blame him for doing it outdoors, who wants to vomit in someone Else's toilet sober? Plus the risk of doing it on the floor or while going through the house. AND if he did not hit the guy laughing at him, he must of been really sick. Next time let the HO's dog out to lick it up and save on their water bill.

You know....that's an excellent point. Now that I think about it, if was as bad as leadman said, he was better off. Damn, now I have nothing to bitch at him about. But, he could have used the construction garbage can.....ah haaa, I do have something to bitch about.

Mr. Poopy must be asleep, or dead, he's not answering his phone.

You know, I am guessing that his vomit attack cost me about $200 in downtime today.

Time for me to throw up.

Mr. Poopy's back in action.

He's running at 75% capacity today, but the job is ahead of sced, so I don't mind too much.

Why are you running .... sometimes it's better to go toe to toe and get it over with.

Teetor tends to be all over the place, but I find his post's somewhat humoring and also all over the place. He's git something up his ass, well you know what at least yesterday he did, and he needs to get it out. But come on Tommy, toe to toe brother, toe to toe.

But anyway Tom you have to stay around, I want to see how many people end up putting you on ignore. You know there may be a point to were me and maybe three others will be the only ones reading (hearing) your postings.

And if ANYONE says I am OFF TOPIC!, all I have to say is that Mr. Poopy is fine and the drama is over with, but come to think of it this entire thread was topicless, more like a like experience that I wanted to share with utter strangers.

Glad to hear that he is fine, I was going to send him a card. Maybe you should buy bulk barf bags for him for x-mas.
