Kyle,
Thanks, we needed a funny story. I can just see it now. If you move
and need mor "landscaping" invite Gary over and have a case of Bud for him.

>As the family was eating supper, I heard Gary's backhoe fire up. Since he's
>replacing his own driveway, I assumed he was working on that.

>(Can you see where this is going?)

>After 20 minutes or so, I noticed that the backhoe had gotten loud. Too
>damn loud. I raced to the front door and discovered, to my horror, that,
>yes, Gary had taken it upon himself to start work post-haste and had ripped

>I didn't feel safe approaching him while he was on the heavy equipment, so
>when he finally "shut 'er down" (after 2 hours) I asked him what the hell he

>asleep on my porch glider. A sleep from which he was unable to be aroused.
>He went home sometime during the night and came over early the next morning
>and asked at the door, "Hey, Cleveland, who f----d up your yard? What a
>mess! I can fix it for you, if you want?" He really didn't remember a
>thing! When I told him that he was himself the culprit, he thought it quite
>funny and said, "Wow! Budweisers and backhoes really DON'T mix, do they?"
>
>Sober, the man is a landscaping genius and he rebuilt my entire yard
>(exquisitely) in one weekend. I'm still trying to figure out whether to be
>angry or grateful.
