The Paintbrush
October 1st, 2008 by Troy in Uncategorized ||

He watched the paintbrush tumble into the bay below.  He held tight to the railing of the Bay Bridge.  He remembered what the foreman told him, “don’t drop the f….ing brush”!  Then a small rabbit started talking to him asking him all about what he was doing.  His brush with all the chemicals was now polluting the bay.  The rabbit continued to scold him.  He shouldn’t have drank so much the night before.  He was talking to bunny for crying outloud!  What was he going to tell his foreman?

Finally, he figured out how to manage the situation.  He went to meet his foreman and explained to him that the rabbits were harassing him, which caused the brush to fall.  He could blame it all on them.

He carefully climbed back down and told the foreman that he lost his brush.  The foreman smiled.  “I know, I was watching” he said.  “When you get back to the unemployment office tell them you’re a dumb-ass and you need to do something easier”.
