We pulled up on a home to finish out the bathroom remodel. In the driveway were 5 U.S. Treasury vans along with at least 7 agents with bulletproof vests and guns. They walked over to us as we were grabbing our tools and we were informed that we could not enter the house unless we wanted to go to the old graybar hotel. One of the female agents asked me if I wanted to be tasered after I had engaged in a little good-natured kidding around. I think she used to be a Canadian border guard or something.
I informed her that I had just spent the weekend in Utah with all my in-laws, attending Nancy's Mother's funeral and she could do her worst. We all had a chuckle and then we decided to leave. Later in the day I talked to the tile installer who was grouting when the door burst open and he was asked at gunpoint to drop the grout sponge and reach for the sky. It pays to sleep late some days.
. Just when you think you've seen it all
Sure hope I get paid. DC
