That's about the funniest thing I've read in a long time. I'm getting one of those tomorrow.
I was working on a construction project in Wyoming and there was this annoying drywaller who was always super hung over and reeking of booze. He was from a town a hundred miles away and slept in his car on the jobsite. He also smoked incessantly and his smokes looked like camels but they smelled like those reeking french cigarettes (Gitanes?). On top of that he played bad hair bands on a huge ghetto box and he had this mangy little dog that barked all fucking day long. So one day he doesn't show up to work and we're kind of relieved until his boss calls and asks me to go bail him out of jail, promising to pay me back. I go bail the guy out and he really looks like a train wreck but his boss is really pissed so he comes to work anyhow.
This whole time his mangy little kick-em dog has been barking- the entire time we were there at the job. Foolio has the dog tied up to his rear bumper but I have a truckload of 1/2" chip (15 cubic yards of gravel) coming so I grab the dog and lock him in the office trailer. As the truck is backing in I get this great idea and I reach back in the job trailer and pull the collar off of Benji and put it back on the chain. I then pull the chain to it's full length and have the driver dump the gravel right on it. It's a piggy-back of gravel- essentially two truckloads- so there's this huge pile of gravel with this chain coming out from under it. I then ask my lead guy- a grumpy old redneck who doesn't say much and doesn't get too excited- to go inside and tell homie to check on his dog. I'm standing just inside the door and I hear him ask, "That your dog?" The guy says, "yeah- why?" and my grumpy redneck lead guy says, "I'd check on him."
The guy walks to the back door still reeking of booze and still looking like a complete trainwreck and he goes white as a sheet when he sees this huge pile of gravel. He hauls ass out there like an olympic sprinter and starts tugging on the chain as hard as he can. I was pretty fucking surprised when he got the chain out- I didn't think it was possible. He pulls it out and sees his dog's collar and just holds it up at eye level and then starts digging in that gravel like a dog in a sandbox, flinging gravel everywhere behind him.
By this time I've opened the job trailer and have the dog in my arms and say, "Hey- uh...Tim? You looking for something?" The guy was actually a pretty good sport about it and told me later that his heart was still racing an hour later. Fuggin alcoholic.
