Tax Dollars at Work?
Yesterday they were supposed to start work on the sewer on my block. The prior three days they have been painting lines and marking things. The previous day they dropped off some digging equipment and the all important port-a-crapper. Yesterday I figured they were ready for business. After 9 they started etching the road which washed away the majority of the paint they “labored” on for 3 days. Things then were pretty quiet. I looked outside at 11:45 and the workers are sitting on the sidewalk down the street. I figure it is lunch time and go about my day. At 1:50 they are all still down the street sitting on the sidewalk. That must have been some lunch! A bit later a dump truck comes and dumps a load of gravel in front of my neighbors house. Then a tractor comes, gets a scoop of gravel, goes down the street, and puts up the road closed sign. Everyone is gone by 3:00. Our tax dollars at work!
BTW: What is the best way to move a port-a-crapper, without tipping it, and about how many people do you think that would take? Just Curious

I dunno…is the port-a-potty another “fund raiser?

To my estimation it takes 10-15 strong, well paid, men to place the crapper. Therefore, it would take 3-4 determined women to kindnap, recieve ransom (more then all 10-15 men earned) and drink them under the table with only 1/4th of the cash. Sounds like a good “fund raiser” to me.

Hmmm… maybe the visible port-a-potty (my daughter used to call them a “peed-a-potty”) will provide some more thought provoking questions from your son….

Is that question in reference to “The Game?” I really don’t wanna know what’s going on over there

The question has absolutely nothing to do with “The Game”. We just thought it would be fun to move the port-a-crapper to someone’s front lawn or to hide it down the block. But, as I was reminded, we need to act fast because it gets heavier everyday!
