A young family moved into a house, next to a vacant lot. One day, a
construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot. The
young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the
activity going on next door and spent much of each day observing the
workers. Eventually the construction crew, all of them "gems-in-the-rough,"
more or less, adopted her as a kind of project mascot. They chatted with
her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and lunch breaks, and gave
her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.

At the end of the first week, they even presented her with a pay envelope
containing ten dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother who
suggested that she take her ten dollars "pay" she'd received to the bank the
next day to start a savings account. When the girl and her mom got to the
bank, the teller was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had
come by her very own pay check at such a young age. The little girl proudly
replied, "I worked last week with a real construction crew building the new
house next door to us."

"Oh my goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you be working on the
house again this week, too?"


The little girl replied, "I will, if those assholes at Home Depot ever
deliver the fuckin' sheet rock..."

I heard the same set up, but it was Little Dirty Johnny at the home building site.

He and his familiy were sitting down to dinner when his Dad asked him what he did that day.

Johnny replied, "Well, I watched some men building a house."

His Dad asked him what he did there.

Johnny told him, "I learned how to hang a door."

So his Dad inquired, curious now, "How do you hang a door?"

Johnny says, "Well, you get your two helpers and you have them hold it up while you say. 'No GD it, move that MF a little more to the left, now lift that SOB up just a hair..."

Johnny's Mother tells him, "Young man, you go outside right now and fetch me a switch!"

Little Dirty Johnny says, "Fuck you lady, you want a switch, get a 'lectrician, I'm a damn carpenter, Local 134, and I'm on my freaking dinner break right now."

We erected a amusement ride locally a while back and the last thing we had to do was put in about a gazillion electric light bulbs. I heard later the electrians were butt hurt because they felt we were encroaching on their work. :D I guess there wasn't 17 available anyway.

One last little Johnny joke. Little Johnny(LJ) was in History class. The teacher said whoever got the answers correct to her oral quiz could leave early. Johnny couldn't wait. The teacher asked," Who cut down the cherry tree?" LJ was waving his arms frantically, but the teacher called on Sally. George Washingtion was Sally's answer. Okay said the teacher, Sally you're right and you can leave early. LJ was bent. The next question, Who said give me liberty or give me death. Again LJ was frantically waving his hand, but the teacher called on Mary. Patrick Henry replied Mary. Teacher said, "Correct, Mary you can leave early." Beside himself, LJ cried out,"I wish thoses bitches would keep their mouths shut." Indignantly the teacher yelled," Who said that?" LJ answered,"Bill Clinton, do I get to leave early?" :D

Back when I was working in the Entertainment Industry, we had to deal with ALL the Unions.

From the Electric brothers, to Grips, the Camera guys, the Writers, Directors and of course the FAGs....errrrrr.....I mean SAG.

But the best, was having to deal with the Teamsters. No project can move, without the Teamsters....and they know it. Of course the jokes are just everywhere with the Teamsters.

Q: How many Teamsters does it take to move a vehicle?
A: 21.....you got a problem with that ???!!!!

Q: Why are there 2 horse's heads, on the Teamsters Logo?
A: Because they wanted to honor the only other animal, besides themselves, that can sleep standing up.

Q: The last thing Jesus Christ said to a Teamster boss 2000 years ago???
A: "Don't do anything, till I get back."
