WHEELBARROW BET!
The strong young man at the construction site was bragging
that he could outdo anyone in a feat of strength.
He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen.
After several minutes, the older worker had had enough.
"Why don`t you put your money where your mouth is," he said.
"I will bet a week`s wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow
over to that outbuilding that you won`t be able to wheel back."
"You`re on, old man," the braggart replied. "Let`s see what you got."
The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles.
Then, nodding to the young man, he said,
"All right, dumb ass! Get in."

The fatal flaw in that deal is that the old man didn`t get the deal in writing or any kind of collateral. Who`s the dumb ass now, old man? :lol:

What`s that saying? "Age and experience will beat youth and exuberance every time." ;)

Having spent the majority of my work life in construction the deal was cast as soon as the challenge was accepted. :book:
Who ever does not live up to the deal struck whether he be young or old will not be long for that particular construction site. Do what you say....Say what you do!! :yes: :surrender :beer_smil

This is the flaw. Unless the old man is able to force the young guy to get in and stay in the wheelbarrow, he`d better be prepared to pay up.

This just in from the AP:
A young braggart was found in the middle of a cement pillar on a construction site with a wheel barrow handle shoved up his rear end. His nostrils and mouth were full of Super Polygrip. Cause of death is unknown at this time, but it is suspected to be from his heart ceasing to beat. More on this story as it develops.

Don`t know if this is the answer or not. The old man might be packing. You know the old saying: it`s foolish to show up at a gun fight carrying only a knife. :rolleyes:

The guy might not end up in a cement pillar, but you can bet his life would be pretty miserable at that site.
Besides, the old guy received his money`s worth when he made a fool out of the big-mouth.
FWIW, the big-mouths aren`t limited to young guys.
