Title: Here's your sign
Post by: Bill P on April 06, 2011, 10:04:57 pm
I couldn't help myself.  ::)

Once again, sitting at my saw with my doors open on the shop, another neighbor walks up and says, "Ya makin' somthin'?"  I said, "No, I'm running my saw in reverse so I can make this chess piece back into a block of wood."

 :D

Lisa just reminded me about my "Bill Engvall" moment a couple of summers back.  I was loading my golf clubs in the back of the truck when the guy across the street shouted out, "You going golfing?"  I yelled back, "No, skydiving.  Here's your sign."  The neighbor on my side of the street started laughing so hard we thought he was going to lose his balance.

Chachi, that's hilarious!

Dan, no, I'm not Grumpy, I'm more like Dopey.  :P

Actually, my neighbors think I'm eccentric.  I always smile and say "hi," which throws most of them.

The problem is you live too close to the CA line where all those transplants ended up, you know how those Californians are! LOL
That will get Dan seeing red. LMAO

Hey Gabby, I'm not a transplant, I'm a native. In fact my grandfather rode with Pancho Villa! He spied a young lady, kidnapped her and married her. They had sixteen children, one of them was my mother!

When I was a restaurant manager I made periodic cash register "pull", where I took out the large bills to put in the safe.  One day while I was in the midst of doing the "pull" one of my customers came up to me and asked. "Do you work here?"  My reply, of course, was, "No, I'm robbing the place."  You just can't fix stupid!!

Hey, Dan, that sounds like a fascinating story. 

Steve, things like this make me a big Bill Engvall fan.
