I saw the damdest thing in Texas

[Whitmore]

While on our big trip to Texas we were pulled over getting fuel and I was watching 2 guys with the state department working the roadside, one guy was digging a hole he would move up about 20 feet and start digging another hole as the second guy would fill the first hole back in, I watched them do this for about 20 minutes and my curiosity got the best of me so when done fueling I walked over there for a chat to find out what exactly they were doing? The guy said his name was Mike and he was the hole digger and his buddy was Tim he was the hole filler and that they were tree planters for the state. I was kinda confused at this point and asked why they wernt planting trees today? His reply was that Fred was the tree planter but Fred was sick that day but it sure wasnt going to stop them from a hard day of work. heheheheheh

LOL, that's great! Were they slow in the head or something?

 

[MMeier]

Nothing like seeing lschultz' tax dollars hard at work now, is there??

There could be method in their madness.

It's always easier to dig a hole the second time.

Almost as bad as a bunch of "aggies" struggling to stand up a line pole so one of them could climb it with a tape measure. When asked they were doing-trying to find out how tall it was. - you could measure it on the ground- We don't want to know how long it is we want to know how tall it is.

Do you expect me to believe that? You come down to Texas-I feed you,give you a place to sleep,give you Shiner Bock to take back to your buddies,give you a half a stick of Donkey Dick(I kept the other half to eat myself ),give you maps so you can find your way around. And now you start with this A BIG payback it coming. When you least expect it.



And another thing(I have been pondering on this awhile )I was through your state back in 87 or was it 88 or was it 89 when we went to Sturgis. And I did not say a thing about your state or have I made a remark like you have. Other than it being windy as he** it was nice(thats all I can say)We had to ride sideways for quite a distance. When we stopped on the side of the road to relieve ourselves the wind about blew us over. I had to hold on to the big boy cause I did not want to loose him



And thank you for that observation.

Larry, Not intended as a dig toward Texas, thats just where we were at the time, heck its just proof that there are idiots everywhere! I really dont think any state is exempt from idiots!



Man that little accident I had in your spare bed musta spun you up hehehehehe



Cheers, Kevin

I heard the same joke about 6 months ago... but it took place in Calif. , and they were digging holes along the freeway... . due to state budget cuts Jose was layed off (the guy who put the trees in the hole. ) But the other two guys had plenty of work for the rest of the year.

 

[lschultz]

It is a joke. I thought he was serious I'll have to see if I cancel the contract I put out on him.

 

[me4osu]

Hey, I know them!

The same guys used to be on the striping crew...

 

[Deezul1]

Them CALTRANS guys ( Calif Dept Of Transportation) are real worried that 80% of them will get layed off. China has come up with a shovel with a gyroscope in it and it will stand up by itself.
