The Board Stretcher
Sent the first-year out to the truck for the board stretcher.
There is no such thing as a board stretcher. That is the entire point of sending him. Every one of us got sent for one, and every one of us went.
Twenty minutes go by. Then forty. Then an hour.
Finally the phone rings. It's him — calling from the supply house across town — and he says…
“The guy at the counter
says you have to
bring the board in.”
says you have to
bring the board in.”
The next morning
They sent him back out for a left-handed pipe wrench. Also not a thing.
He came back with one.
Nobody has been brave enough to ask where he got it.
Got a better one?
Every crew has one, and half of them can't be printed. Send it anyway and I'll decide.
