Good morning crew,

Saturday the wife spent house and pet sitting for some people on the other side of town, and Sunday she had an all-day affair with some of her girlfriends downtown. Consequently I spent almost the entire weekend by myself.

Laugh it up,

Joe

Hoping to make a point, I asked, "Do you think they're looking for an engineer?"

"Oh, sure," he said. "They'll hire anybody."

That evening, he found the stand just as dirty as before but with this added his note: 'Nice swords.'
