The Broken Tools

~

   There once was a young man that lived in a small home... the man was not the best housekeeper, and as a result there often was some sort of small repair that needed to get done, but he usually never bothered with it. "I'll get to it eventually," he would think. "It's just a small repair, and I need to look up how to fix it properly anyway."

   

   Well this went on for quite a while. Eventually repair, upon repair built up and around his home.. and eventually those little things became big things. But he continued to ignore them.

One day one of his friends came over and to chat for a bit, as they chatted the friend mentioned some small repairs that needed to get done around his house. "Oh! Let me help you with that friend," said the man.

The Junk Collector

~

There was a man that had traveled for most his life. He had traveled from town to town, state to state, sometimes even a new country on occasion, but nothing had quite caught his interest long enough to stay. Finally came the day when he decided he would settle down.

  He stopped in the country side and found a house that was for rent, he called the number, met the owner and they discussed conditions and prices.

"I'll let you rent it, but you have to keep the place clean." 

The man agreed and shortly after moved in. 

One day the Owner of the house came by to chat for a bit. "I'll be heading out of town tomorrow," he said, "I have business to take care of a few states over. I expect you to keep the place clean even though I'm gone."

The Water Pitcher

~

Not too long ago there was a man that lived in the downtown of a busy city. He lived in a small apartment right off one of the busiest streets. When he got home he enjoyed sitting down and having a nice cold glass of water and reading a book.

  One particularly hot summer day, he happened to glance out the window and saw that there were many people walking the streets who appeared to be quite thirsty, some not so much. But he could see the heat working on them all. As he sat there for a moment watching the crowds moving and walking around, he decided he would go out and do something to refresh them.

"Hey Ryan! Go look for the hose puller!!" 

"What's it look like?"

"It's real big, you can't miss it. It should be near the hoses"

Took me awhile to figure out that the snickering wasn't them laughing at a joke that was told, but that I was the joke.

"Hey Ryan, you know what a henweight is?"

"What's a henweight?"

"About 2 1/2 lbs"
