[QUOTE="sox, post: 4498589, member: 24574"] Best helper I ever had was a great worker but not that bright. He worked the local sort and needed extra money. His family had left the city and moved out here to the boonies. One day he said “I smell smoke someone’s house must be on fire” I told him no it’s 10 degrees outside probably someone’s wood stove. About 20 minutes later he said “does it make the food taste better” I said “what are you talking about”. “The wood stove does food taste better on a wood stove?” A couple of days later pulled up to a house and handed him a package “whoa it says invisible fence” I said don’t worry it’s for the dogs. He takes a couple of steps and says “well where the friend#@k is it I don’t want to trip”. He had a hard time understanding why my kids went to another town for school.I told him it was Because we sent them to parochial (catholic) school. “Oh sorry to hear that what’s wrong with them?” I’d get home at 9 or 10 at peak and tell my wife. She said you should write them down and write a book. I wish I had! He was always bumming money off but always paid me back. Later that year the local sort sup pulled me aside and told me he had to let him go for attendance issues. “But you know the guy had the audacity to ask me to borrow $20 bucks [/QUOTE]
