Guys Get It Done

"I would like to go hunting with him sometime."

I am battling a terrible cold, the flu, or some combination of the two, and don't feel like being at the keyboard, but when I read this Dave Barry column in the Miami Herald On-Line Edition this morning I just had to share it.

Barry tells the story of two guys with leaf-blowers. We've all seen guys with leaf-blowers...right? But have we seen any like these two? I'd bet my last Social Security check that one of them is a Republican and the other is a Democrat, they both think they're right, and are willing to make fools of themselves to prove it.

Sorry you are feeling punky. Hope it isn't the flu. Had trouble linking up to the article cited above. Gave me an error message and said the page couldn't be found. Is there any other way?

Hi Sarah. I had trouble with the Chicago Trib link too, so I found the column at the Miami Herald. It should work for you now.

thanks for the re-do. You were right. It was a totally typical kind of behavior that tends to rear it's ugly head around these parts all too often

Hope you're feeling better. I cracked up over this article. Thanks.

Cheese Louise :)

Saw this in my Sunday paper. Cracked me up! Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it.
Hope you didn't catch some kind of computer virus from me. Seems like I've been sick off and on most of the winter. Feeling pretty good right now (knock wood). Hope you get better soon!

This is so true to life! This fall I was out with my leaf blower and I think my neighbor, a guy, was thinking of doing the same thing as guy B! I am a woman and so of course I would not engage in such ridiculous bantering (true to the author's assessment of women-ha!). I picked my leaves up after blowing them into a pile in my own yard, while "he" watched from his yard. ha! Robyn
