The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he could outdo anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen. After several minutes, the older worker had had enough. "Why don't you put your money where your mouth is," he said. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding that you won't be able to wheel back." "You're on, old man," the braggart replied. "Let's see what you got." The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to the young man, he said, "all right, get in."..

Per an event that happened a long time ago at a granary transfer dock:
The bet was that a large, particularly strong fellow couldn't put a 250 pound sack under each arm and carry them the full length of the dock and all the way back without stopping nor putting either sack down. He picked up the sacks, walked the entire length of the dock, spun around without hesitation and walked all of the way back... but was unable to collect on the bet... why?

Is it because he put the sacks down when he got back?

Very difficult to put money in pocket whilst carrying the sacks for eternity... and the opposing fellow in the bet declares with a nod at the sacks, "Just a minute, I said without putting them down!"

I may have seen that one before but I couldn't recall the answer. Wink

When I was 16 yrs and working in const. I was sent for the glass hammer, the board stretcher, the rubber ruler, and sent to the home office to get my pink slip. Roll Eyes

(certification apprentices need, or ladies apparel?) I never bet against one of the older men because I knew my track record from those times, and the first year was humiliating!

I know what you mean Steve. We had the 'shelf stretcher' in the grocery business when I was in high school. I used it as an excuse to get out of work for about 45 minutes.

The assistant manager did not send me after any other non-existent tools after that. Grin

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

thats what we do in my class.
always hope for the infants class while miss is away because you always get tasks from her and not 5 chapters of spelling activities,2 pages of irish and 3 pages of maths.

once we where extremely lucky.
the rest went to confirmation(i am not chatolic,the other is jehova and the other one had hers last year)and we went to the infants,they where having PE so we could play with the ball outside and when they went in we could stay outside and in the end when the class came back it was hometime. Grin
