Got Wood?

Tonto "You wanna go get some free wood? My buddys got a cabin 100 miles outside the city and we can cut all the wood we want."
Hell yea, if it's free, it's me.

2 hours driving time into Bigfoot territory ($60 gas)
Joe had all the wood cut, even had a tractor to lift the logs waist height so we didn't have to bend over while cutting. In the cooler you can't see $80 in groceries and beer.
Loaded my rental trialer ($55) and Tonto's ($55). Cut the wood way faster with my rental Stihl saw ($65).
Left my house at 8AM, got to my cabin in Sky at 8PM. Finished unloading all by 9:30PM.
Wood to spare around the Stabbin Cabin too. That's the WA state flag covering the wood by the way.
My total cost for a cord of free wood? $260 not counting the 13 hours worked. Hmmmm, the guy two doors down delivers split, seasoned wood to my doorstep for $250 a cord. Pollack.

  5. A ventriloquist had just finished his polack joke routine when a huge, drunk polack confronted him, "I'm sick of your polack jokes and I'm going to knock the shit out of you." "I'm sorry, it was all in good fun," replied the comedian. The polack retorted, "I was talking to little asshole on your knee."
