My Ultimate Achievement for Today

[stonecutter]

Tonight, I got home from a lodge meeting and realized it's garbage day tomorrow.

We have those wire racks in the garage that hold garbage bags. I went to release the bag, dropped the clip that holds the garbage bag onto the rack in the garbage bag. Had to transfer all the garbage out of the bag and into the other to retrieve said clip for fear of the wrath of an unhappy wife. (Women, am I right? (kidding...))

I was sifting through little bags of dog poop, daughter's dirty diapers (I wish she'd let us potty train her already), a spent barbecue burner and old briquettes, bags o garbage, a broken plate, a broken fruit bowl... (one was my fault, one was said daughter's) Tore the new bag with the broken plate. Sigh - enter third garbage bag - begin a second garbage transfer from Bag 2 to Bag 3. At last I finally retrieved the clip and triumphantly carried the garbage and recycling to the curb.

You may ask why this is worthy of a forum post. That reason is twofold:

A) There hasn't been a post for a few days, and this, I hope will spark up a conversation and

B) I did all this wearing a TUXEDO! That's right... bowtie, vest, pants with the satin stripe, the whole deal.

Cuz that's how we roll up in here! Classy...

Classy indeed...I wish I could have seen it! (Not "helped" you with it...just watched it!)

[allenuk]

Classy? Amazing, I'd say. I haven't even got a suit, let alone a monkey-suit.

I'm impressed !

(course, your wife is probably wondering why you didn't go in a change (this was after the lodge meeting, or ?) but that's just women for you :-)

Have to agree w/cherylm on this one...would dearly loved to have seen this one happening. One question~ was the tux still clean when u finished.
