FUNNY CONSTRUCTION JOB BLOOPERS
Everyone has a tale to tell. I'll begin with mine. When I was in High School, during the school year I would work with one of dad's uncles. We called him Uncle Joe. Uncle Joe was a Painting Contractor. when you talked to him you'd have to yell because his ears had been blown out by mortars in wartime.and when he talked to you he'd yell cause he couldn't hear himself very well.. So there was a lot of yelling going on most of the time. One morning Uncle Joe and I had set up a scaffold in a large front entryway of a newly constructed house so we could paint the walls in there.. I was doing the cut in at the ceiling while Uncle Joe rolled the walls. Suddenly the door opened behind us and two women came in, I recognized one as the Real Estate lady. She asked "Mind if we come in?" Uncle Joe didn't hear them so I said "come right on in.". As they were standing there discussing how lovely that entryway was going to be. Uncle Joe cut loose with a fart that seemed to last for seconds. "BLLLLLLLAAAAAATTTTT"
I was so embarrassed, I punched him in the side with my finger and motioned to look behind us.. Uncle Joe turned around in his old man jerky movements, looked at the two women and with his loud voice said..SORRY GALS HOPE I DIDIN'T GET ANY ON YA." He meant he hoped he didn't get any paint on them, but the girls and I thought he was talking about something else.
