McTight ran an efficient shop, everybody had to pull their own weight or they were out the door. It particularly galled him when he spotted a young man goofing off outside the foreman's office. He was sitting on a stack of lumber trimming his fingernails, when he finished that he idily traced designs in the sawdust on the floor with his foot.

After several minutes of this McTight could stand no more. He stepped out in front of the young man and demanded, " How much do you make?"

"Three hundred dollars a week sir," the lad replied.

McTight took out his wallet and counted out some cash, " Here is two weeks pay, get out of here and don't come back."

No sooner had the surprised young man left the shop when the foreman returned.

"Had a little problem to straighten out with the thickness sander," he remarked, " What happened to the kid from the deli, I told him to wait here for our lunch order."

One night a wife saw her husband standing over the baby's crib.

She stood watching him silently, he looked down with mixed emotions, disbelief, doubt, delight, amazement, enchantment, and skepticism.

She slipped her arm around him, "Penny for your thoughts?" she whispered.

"It's amazing, how can they make a crib like that for $49.99?"

A new helper is on the job for two hours when he is sent to the diner for coffee.

" Will this hold six cups? " he asks the waitress holding up a large thermos jug.

" No problem," she replies.

" Good , give me two black, one with cream and three with cream and sugar."
