That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 06, 2020

Bill and Harry decided this was the best way to decide who would win the hand of the widow who had inherited the quarry.

Greta thought the evening would be quite different when two hunks invited her to a rock concert. (“I wanna beeee … your sledgehammer…”)

Before the invention of safety goggles, the one who gets the less rock chips in the eyes wins the family.

Carlotta, re-thinking the idea of being a wedge in the relationship of these two gay hunks…

She thinks it is wonderful that these two are eager to create a pedestal to put her on…

“Guys, when I said you should hammer out your differences I was just using a figure of speech.”

how they played whack-a-mole before amusement arcades were invented…

“Sven, you idiot, Leonardo DeCaprio is on a cruise ship right now because you bet our tickets on two pair. I wish this rock was your head!!!”

“Hey guys, not how rock, paper, scissors, is played”

“Ya know,Fred? Why don’t we try this on an anvil. It’ll sound better and maybe we can make an opera or something out of it. “

“OK, lady – get ready to haul it away.”

An “America’s Funniest Home Videos” clip waiting to happen.

Young Lizzie and her baby sister Cecelia normally hated take your daughter to work day, but today was a real cliff-hanger.

Fred and Joe were convinced that if they could re-create the pyramids of Egypt at their home in Montana, it would bring them earthly wealth and power, just like it had the Pharaohs.

Hey, is she sister sledge?

Preparing for a Cro-Magnon golf outing: first, they had to reduce the slab of rock into a ball.

Life was much the same for the two brothers after serving their prison sentences.

World’s worst day care.

They had taken a sacred pledge/ to work as one with the sledge/ though not brothers by blood/ as a unit they’d stood/ but now SHE was driving a wedge…

I want to see statue of me, now!

Only a guy named “Dee” need worry in that situation.

“Listen, Walken, we don’t HAVE a frickin’ cowbell!” You’re just gonna have to be happy with this!"

Paul and George form the pre-Beatles band, The Quarrymen. Even in those earliest days, the babes would go crazy for them. A little bit…

Trevor and Davie had been busting their stones for hours to impress Maeve .

The risks were high but the rewards were great.

The winner got Maeve for the night. The loser got stuck baby-sitting the kid.

We almost have the base for your marble toilet cut out, but carving out the bowl and flush trap takes a while.

“Yes, dear. Making gravel for the walkway is rather inefficient.”

She couldn’t help wondering how she had managed to let herself get involved with these two swingers! She must have been stoned!

She said she wanted marble countertops – now!

“Well, I wish they would have asked me if I like rock music….”

“I forgot to tell them to wait a minute. I forgot the baby’s hearing protection!”

Load 16 tons, and whaddaya get?

Another day older, and deeper in debt.

Saint Peter don’t you call me, ‘cause I cain’t go

I owe my soul to the company store.

Only guys who go by “Dee” need worry.
