Last week my neighbor was getting gutter covers put on his house. He had the bright idea to put a big black rubber snake in his gutter to surprise the gutter guard installer. It didn’t work out as planned.
It seamed like a great idea to Chuck when he put it in the gutter on the front of his house. The thought of one of the gutter guys screaming like a girl made me chuckle when he called me to let me in on it just after they arrived. I asked him if he really wanted to go through with it because someone could get hurt. He said that the front of his house is so low that if one of the installers fell in the shrubs they couldn’t get hurt. I took his word for it and peeked out my window to check on the guys progress. It looked slow going.

Septic service man Danny arrived in the morning and my wife and her sister walked him over to our tank cover. Danny was about 75 years old and looked to be experienced at his job. Danny pulled the cement cover off the tank and bent over to get a look at the job ahead. The first thing he said was, “Oh crap”. My wife yelled back, “Is it that bad”. Danny said, “No but I just dropped my false teeth down into the septic tank”.
