LOLâŠactually a remake of a Far side stripâŠit had cows and sheep in field walking about on hind legs and playing cards and smoking and so onâŠa sheep calls âcarâ and they all drop onto four legs and munch grass.
Joe, once again you are demanding logic in a comic strip. If you accept talking animals and obvious anachronisms without complaining, i.e., every B.C. strip, then you probably shouldnât complain about the jackhammer. Actually, the jackhammer is purely a manual tool; itâs the jackhammer operator thatâs making the âRATATAâ with his mouth. Just like the shoveler is making the âDIG DIG DIGâ sound effects.
Wait a minute! Why are they working off the side of the road and not smack in the middle of the road holding up traffic!? Now I DEMAND the logic to this strip!!
keep it up shiek and you will soon become a member of an ever growing clubâŠâŠthose who dare question or contradict the great jad in any way shape or fashion are cursed to be labeled as the dreaded âcyber bullyâ
once so labeled, you are flagged and cast into the pit where there is much weeping and gnashing of teethâŠâŠ
clearly you would know what you are talking about if you operated a jackhammer in your past ; once youâve had a jackhammer in your hand, it changes your life forever.
I have used both an air powered jack hammer and and an electric powered jack hammer during my real job and not just as a volunteer. They are actually called demolition hammers. All of that being said⊠Itâs a comic folks, lighten up!!

I used to have to run jackhammers in furnaces at a steel mill. It was so hot, we could only stay in the furnace less than a minute and sometimes our shirts would catch fire. Weâd run out and another crew ran in. When a furnice went down, they wanted all the brick, slag and steel hammered out, rebricked and up running in eight hours. Weâd stand on water circulated scaffelds being held up by a large overhead crain.

William Pursell, highway leprechauns arenât the same as as the kind youâre thinking of. They got downsized from the regular leprechaunsâ Ministry of Shovel-Ready Projects after all the pots of gold had gotten buried, so they had to transfer their skills to another trade.
And it ainât coffee in those thermoses they carry.

The fun thing about Comics and Cartoons, they most always defy logic. Remember Fred Flintstones car that he .motorized my his feet?

I wonder why the Men At Work didnât ask, âWho Can It Be Now?â
McGehee almost 15 years ago
Well, that would explain why nobody ever sees highway crews actually working, and yet somehow the work gets done.
All this time I was going with the theory that the actual work was being done at night by highway leprechauns.

Sorry,Joe. If you you were serious, you lose. If you were just being comical, perhaps you pass.
TheAuldWan almost 15 years ago
Some folks demand logic.. I now wonder how much logic there is in life?
freeholder1 almost 15 years ago
The guy with the clipboard isnât union, Lew. And the cop has been laid ff cause of tax cuts. Contact about the shovel guy only.
For your sake, I hope itâs not John Steward.
