yup, their other one is "there's a problem with noisy pipes" & it's bagpipers
playing under the counters. . .

I believe he was arrested for eating bald eagle. I recall posting that one
into this echo nearly 20 years ago!

I hae when there's no way to wash your hands!

I generally use the wheelchair-accessible washroom, if someone's not using it
when not needed (mostly middle aged Asian women, who stand on the seat & 
spray it down, or teenage shoplifters wanting to unpackage the loot); if the
dryer's dfead, I just go into the regular men's room to dry, or into the
family room (hey, I got family)

I only need to dry one had, so if I do so on my pants or shirt no biggie. . .

Look it up -- very cool -- he's still making a profit! While feeding the

That's what I say about a meal that has veggies added. . .

Seinfeld defines salad as a promissory bnote that food is coming; It's not
your real food, but at least you know they have your order. . .

I get that from allergies. . .  & tiredness is just my life now. . .

True story, I knew a guy, who was an independent excavator O/O.

He got a one job contract from the city to assist on a road project (pipe
replacement, I think); the city outsources some work to save on union wages.

My buddy gets there, & there's nobod around, so he waits, waits, then checlks
the spec sheet he got with his contract & went ahead & dug up the road as
specified, as he was putting the backhoe back on his flatbed, the crew shows
up (had been at "coffee" all morning); the foreman starts swearing at my 
mate, saying he just did work they planned to keep stretched out for 3-4
weeks!

Buddy just shrugged & left.

You have to give your two weeks;' notice, or your pay will be docked.

Q: What do you eat on payday?
A: A pay roll

Q: What do you call a T Rex that works for a Payday Loan company?
A: An Apex Predatory Lender.

I work at a pawnshop/payday loan store and the payday loan girl was trying to
fill the store ATM..
Girl: You guys have any twenties?
Boss: Go fish!


I once had a 2nd shift job, 3pm-11pm.
They even had a shift differential!

After my first couple weeks I received a case of hotdogs along with my p
aycheck. I thought nothing of it, but then it happened again next payday, a
nd honestly the paycheck felt a little short.

I approached my boss and asked him what the deal was.

He said "your paycheck? Yeah that's just your day rates."

"And the hot dogs?" I asked

"Nitrates"

My boss asked me, "Why do you come out in rashes every time I give you your w
ages ?"
I said, "Because I am allergic to peanuts."


"What's your wage?" asked my friend.
I said, "It's the amount of money I make."

Your friend,
