Hey, it's Saturday night and I haven't been to town in a month.

Come to think of it, I haven't had a bath in a month.

Do you get dumped into the river or is another earth mover bucket heated for rinsing?

This reminds me of a midnight caper about hot-wiring a front-end loader to go dig clams in the moonlight. Didn't catch any clams, but didn't get caught, either.

About 30 years ago I took the family clamming in Wabaso. We found a construction site that was abandoned. But, someone had taken a front end loader and used it to drag the ground in the shallow water up onto shore. Then picked the mounds clean of clams nd oysters.

Splish splish, I was takin' a bath
Long about a Saturday night
A rub-a-dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everything was alright
Well, I stepped out the tub, put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me and I
Opened the door, and then I
Splish, splash... I jumped back in the bath.
Well how was I to know there was a party going on?

Hey,

It's a lot better than what truck drivers do in the bed of their dump trucks. It just goes to show that equipment operators are more civilized than their co-workers.
