The Six-Year-Old Carpenter

Did you hear about little Jimmy? He’s six years old. He was bugging his mother so she said, “Jimmy, why don’t you go across the street and watch the carpenters at work? Maybe you’ll learn something.”

Jimmy was gone about two hours. When he came home his mother asked him what he learned. Jimmy replied, “Well, first you put the damned door up, then the sumbitch doesn’t fit, so you have to take the mother back down. Then you have to shave some crap off each side and put the bastard back up.”

Jimmy’s shocked mother said, “You wait till your dad comes home!”

When Jimmy’s dad got home, Mom told him the whole story. Dad said, “Jimmy I’m going to have to punish you. Go outside and get a switch.”

“Shove it,” Jimmy replied, “That’s the electrician’s job.”

He only has one boss, and there's no 'face time' until after he's dead.

2. kids are never too young to learn a trade...

Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little
5-year-old girl and some construction workers that makes you
believe that we CAN make a difference when we give a child the gift of our
time...

A young family moved into a house, next door 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 a couple of dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother
who said all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take
the two dollar "pay" she had received to
the bank the next day to start a savings account.

When they 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 the crew building the
house next door to us."

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 a$$holes at Home Depot ever deliver
the f---ing sheet rock..."

5. When I first came here I was always posting jokes but I was informed to not do that

here in GD. I think that a good joke here and there is essential to good relations. Laughing is good medicine
