Men, as a general rule...
« on: January 11, 2005, 01:00:24 PM »
So, as I've said before, I work in a lumber yard.  Of the thirty-or-so employees we have on site, only three of them are women.  It always makes me laugh when women come into the office (which is a very rare occurance), because the guys trip over themselves to cater to her every whim.  

So today a new woman is interviewing for a sales job, and she's young and blonde and very attractive, and the guys here are treating her like she's the Queen.  Several guys, who normally are fairly grumpy, volunteered to take her on a tour of this or that, and she always has a group of guys around her, making fools of themselves.  However, since the whole industry like this, I think she'd do an awesome job in sales.
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.

If she is smart im sure she will do a good job at taking advantage of all the males tripping over themselves.
yes sales would be a good prospective, could defiantly get peoples attention (obviously) to get them into the sale

If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that you can never trust a beautiful woman.

...or a pig rancher.  Don't trust those, either.

Sigh. That's my problem. Nobody trusts me.  ;)

Maybe it's that men are tripping all over you.  That could be a problem too.

I trust at least one of them. ;)

My office has a good ratio and I don't see anyone tripping.

Probably *because* you have a good ratio you don't see anyone tripping.

In my nineteen years on Planet Terra, I've learnt three things:

1) Never trust a women with a mustache

2) Never wear wooden shorts without a good supply of salve

3) Never spit in your boss's face unless his mustache is on fire. (If her mustache is on fire, don't spit on it even then.)
