My mom sent me this one, thought it was great, especially for anyone in the construction industry.

The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he

could outdo anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen.

After several minutes, the older worker had enough. "Why don't you put your money where your mouth is," he said. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding that you won't be able to wheel back."

"You're on, old man," the braggart replied. "Let's see what you got."

The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles.

Then, nodding to the young man, he said, "All right, Dumb A$$, get in."

I remember when I was a young man, laying brick and block.

One day I was working..and being outdone by an old man. that made me mad...for every block I laid, he laid 3. I began to heckle him and he would just laugh..and that made me angrier. Finally I said "whatcha laughin at old man??" he replied "I've been yo' age, you've never been mine"...

I thought about it and then ate the crow I so deserved. after that he taught me quite a bit that I didn't know. His name was David Shine and that old man could do some work!
