Well folks, I’m sure y’all have been keeping up with my saga of the crappy co-worker (see “When a Laborer Breaks a Tool”). I have good news: The boss hired a new helper yesterday, and from just working with him today, I can say it appears the situation has worked itself out. The new guy is careful, aware, fast, efficient, and knows what he’s doing…hung rafters with him today, and it was amazing how quickly the day went by. Not to mention not having to fight with fixing mistakes made by the old helper. Now, I will warn you, the old careless helper hasn’t been fired yet, but seeing how he hasn’t shown up for work in the past two days, I don’t think he has much of a future left on our crew…especially since my boss keeps his crew to no more than 4 or 5 guys. Again, thanks to all who responded with advice on my previous postings!

Sure is nice when you don't have to work with an assclown all day.
Fantastic usage of my favorite word!
Jeff.......Sometimes on the toll road of life.....a handful of change is good.......
Was that your word or Joe Fuscos'? I remember someone using it before and I laughed my assoff! Someone was getting ripped a new one over something or other and Joe was starting to blow his top and calling him every name in the book and then some.
Mighta been Joe F's....
I think I used it here on a special occasion or two.....
...I stole it from a buddy at work(Joey B)...who stole it from a tile guy that asked him "Hey Joe, how would it make you feel if I called you an assclown?"
We've been trying to discover a true definition since! We've since decided.....it's a word of many meanings......all in the voice inflection!
Sometimes good...sometime bad
You may like our newest usage.......
goes something like......"Not yer average assclown can do something like that.....'takes a special kinda assclown........."
To be said to your buddies imediately after ya do either a fantastic feat of carpentry......or something equally as dumb.
After a while..the second line is a group effort.

It seems a very versatile name. Sort of like the various uses of DUDE. Changing the inflection while speaking the name "Dude" totally alters the meaning. Also applicable to various words that will not get by the prospero auto censor.
I think that censor is the absolute ONLY thing on this prosperopieceof sheet system that has changed and improved since they changed over. It catches words it didn't used to, and seems to get better as time passes.
It's the only thing that has improved about this pieceofprosperosheet system. Joe H

Hey!
That's the guy I worked with! Did he leave the hammer on top of the 10' stepladder again?
