I wasn't going to go there but at least they made it into the toilet.


When scrounging a job site for drywall buckets, I've learned to pull off
the tops of any buckets to make sure they are empty. Of course, you know,

My grandfather was a mason. In his day, they would sh*t in the empty
concrete bags and toss them into the back of a truck to take to the
dump.

He loved to tell the story of how he was teaching a young mason the
tricks of the trade.

"After laying a few courses, step back a bit to make sure your lines
are straight."

He was so engrossed in the "teaching moment" that he forgot he
standing on some scaffolding. He fell backward off the scaffolding
into the back of a truck.

Luckily a bag of sh*t cushioned his fall. Not so lucky was that the
sh*t squirted out of the bag.

From some reason the young mason didn't want Grandpa to teach him
anything else that day.
