I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,
Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

Another completely true one. Honest.
Before Wife and I bought our business, I worked for a huge Firm that had quite a defined level of staff categories. I had to work for any one of several bosses, most of whom were less than half my age but they all had a University degree. I admit I went to university once but that was only to deliver a load from my Taxitruck!
Anyway, one day my boss on one job was nicknamed "The Terminator" because he got so many people sacked. He was quite a nasty piece of work, he phoned me at the premises of a client. He gave me quite a hard time over the phone and in the end, I said, "Well, you told me to come here today, Andrew"
When I hung up the phone, I saw all the staff of the client standing around and obviously listening to my side of the conversation and they knew who I was talking to.
I smiled at them and said "It is difficult to Soar with the Eagles when you are held down by a Turkey."
They all laughed and we all went back to work. The Terminator was never able to get me sacked, although he tried several times. The big boss was a car enthusiast and let me drive his veteran cars.

Is it better to keep quiet and have people think you are a fool,
or speak up and have everyone KNOW you are a fool?

Recently in hospital, the Doctor asked me for a stool sample and a urine sample.
I let him my jocks.

Spring has sprung
The grass has rizz
I wonder where the birdies izz?
For the benefit of those of you not lucky enough to live in my beautiful part of the world, including Brocky45, DimaUkraine and Eightpot, The First day of September is the official start of the Spring season here.
