A blind man arrives at a lumber camp & asks for a job. The boss advises him
due to the fact he is blind & lumber work is very dangerous there are no
available positions. The blind man protests & advises the boss he is able to
identify trees buy smell & could go out ahead of the cutting crew & mark
whatever trees were to be cut that day.
The boss decides to give him a try & takes him out to the lumber yard outside.
The first piece of wood he comes to he hands it to the blind man who then passes
it under his nose & advises it �fir”
The boss is impressed & picks up a second piece of wood. Again the blind man
passes it under his nose & advises its �redwood”. This continues all around the
lumber yard & the blind man never makes a mistake. The secretary has seen this
display & decides to throw a curve at this lumber expert. taking a ruler she
runs it between her legs & passes it to the foreman who in turn hands it to the
blind man, he smells the ruler & appears confused, finally he advises he is not
sure but its either �pussy willow” or a board off an “old s*** house�. Boss was
complaining in our staff meeting the other day that he wasn’t getting any
respect. Later that morning he went to a local sign shop and bought a small sign
that read, “I�m the boss”. He then taped it to his office door. Later that day
when he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign
that said, “Your wife called. She wants her sign back!”
