Sonny Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 There were two guys working for the city. One would dig a hole -- he would dig, dig, dig. The other would come behind him and fill the hole -- fill, fill, fill. These two men worked furiously; one digging a hole, the other filling it up again. A man was watching from the sidewalk and couldn't believe how hard these men were working, but couldn't understand what they were doing. Finally he had to ask them. He said to the hole digger, "I appreciate how hard you work, but what are you doing? You dig a hole and your partner comes behind you and fills it up again!" The hole digger replied, "Oh yeah, must look funny, but the guy who plants the trees is sick today." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizzard Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Accompaying a picture of the new shirts and trousers the city street department workers were issued, was the notation" They are made of a more durable and comfortable fabric, less of a hazard if they should catch fire, and the front shirt pockets are sewn on upside down, so a shovel handle can be more easily leaned on." Of course this was cancelled out a few months later when the city bought shovels that could stand up by themselves!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
