what the construction worker say...

May 4, 2005 · Home Improvement

Since we moved into the Future a few months ago, the streets have been filled with construction workers. They are generally pretty nice, but create a huge racket and block the streets and generally make it impossible to relax. The future is full of dust, noise and orange suits. Most mornings I tease the backhoe loader guy to let me drive it. I haven't really been serious (nor really had the time).

But this morning's quote takes the cake. I'm telling them to do a lot of work (because I am tired of waking up every morning to rumbling metal plates) and one guy responses:

"We always do a lot of work, even if we're doing the wrong thing."

I just laughed and got in my car.
