Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 13, 2022

Lots of places in this country (USA) WISH they could have such a relationship.

Around here, the easiest time to dig new trenches is when the ground is wet. Other times, it’s hard as rock!

They appear to be drought-tolerant.

It doesn’t bother Leonard(the one on the right), he can still lean on his shovel.

Maybe they forgot to wear their water resistant cardboard inserts. (On sale now at Dennis’.)

Time is money guys, you aren’t gonna melt. ( Except for the inserts) we’d better warn Dennis that a big order might be on the horizon.

Like an old girl friend used to tell me, "I’m not sugar or salt, and I’m nobody’s honey — I won’t melt.

Get over here Larry. Did you load the wrong sprinklers again? Sure enough those were the fire sprinklers you moron

The company must be from out of town – they had sense enough to get out of the rain…!

“You mean aqua is not just a color?!”

Fortunately their union has negotiated a “you still get paid” while waiting for the rain to stop so the boys don’t mind.

Where is the turn off switch?

In real life, you just keep on working in the rain.

I remember picking tobacco as a teenager when the irrigation sprinkers were going AND it was raining. Crops don’t wait.

the way things are headed, the only water grass will be seeing IS rain!

It never fails. It doesn’t rain on weekends when they aren’t working.
