LUMBER PURCHASE
« on: June 15, 2011, 09:42:18 am »
Some men in a pickup truck drove into a lumberyard. One of the men walked in the office and says, "We need some four-by-twos."

The clerk replies, "You mean two-by-fours, don't you?"

The guy scratches his head and says, "I'll go check," and goes back to the truck.

He returns and says, "Yeah, I meant two-by-four."

"All right. How long do you need them?"

The guy pauses for a minute and says, "I better go check." After a while, he returns to the office and says, "A long time. We're gonna build a house."

Hey Marcellarius,  I hired that guy once.  I gave him a job nailing siding on my house.  I set him up with a ladder, a big bag of nails and a hammer.  A couple of hours later I went back to check on him and found a huge pile of the nails under the ladder.  I asked him what was going on and he said the nails were rejects, they had the points on the wrong end.  I said, "you idiot!  Couldn't you see those are for the other side of the house?"  I can't believe how so few people have any common sense anymore!

Don't throw them out!  Just suspend your saw from the ceiling until you use them up.

Now that would add a new challenge to bottom feeding the blades.
