Wow, 500 posts! That's a milestone for me! It's amazing to me that you all have put up with me for 500 posts. I have tried to make my posts have some content, and put quite a bit of thought into most of them. They seem to rack up pretty quickly after a while. So, I guess the thing to do is post a joke for the 500th, so here goes:

YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK

A guy was pumping gas into his vehicle and drinking a soda as he leaned against the fender, waiting for the tank to fill. He watched a couple of men working alongside the road. One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. The other man came came along behind him and filled the hole back up again. They just kept on repeating the operation, the first guy digging the hole and the second 25 feet or so behind him, filling it back up again. The men worked their way past the gas station where the guy was filling up and drinking his soda and worked on down the road. "I can't stand this any longer," said the guy, tossing his empty can into the trash container and heading down the road towards the two workers. "Hold it, hold it," he said to the men. "Can you please tell me what you are doing here, digging holes and then filling them in?" "Well, we work for the city and we're just doing our job," one of the men said. "But one of you is digging a hole and the other one is filling it back up. You're not accomplishing anything. Don't you think you're just wasting the taxpayer's money?" "You don't understand, mister," one of the men said, leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow. "Normally there's three of us, me, Elmer, and Leroy. I dig the hole, Elmer sticks the tree in, and Leroy here puts the dirt back in. Elmer's job's been cut...so now it's just me an' Leroy!"

 

lol! NICE ONE!
