Drabble by Kevin Fagan for August 30, 2021

Yeah, you could change smoke alarm batteries…..

Remember Norm when you go in for your interview. A nut isn’t a fanatic and a bolt isn’t lightning

If it were Ace, they’d tell him he wasn’t one of the helpful hardware folks.

Norm learning 1000 different products does not seem possible. Learning ONE does not seem possible.

It’s interesting how some of the buildings are designed in “Drabble”…

If anyone can ‘screw’ this up, it’s Norm.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Echo either working there or her family owning the business.

Can Norm climb a ladder without falling off?

Everybody appears to be hiring these days, so I imagine they might be desperate enough, Normie. Good luck!

This is NOT going to end well. It is NORMAN we are talking about here.

Norm and power tools? Uh oh!

It’s a good, rational position. Good luck and I look forward to following his learning curve……

If The Toolbox is like the two big places here, he should do well there. You can’t ever find anyone in any dept. When you finally do track down an employee, it’s from another dept and they don’t know anything. Case in point, yesterday. Trips to both stores resulted in zero help.

It won’t be the corporate ladder.

Looks like the store is even at the bottom of the hill, Or is that what the artist intended?

Norm goes in the store, but is paralyzed when he sees the entrance says exit from the inside of the store. For the next 8 hours he stands there, thinking “ How can an entrance be an exit?”

Norm, this is very likely to be a little more difficult than you think.

I don’t know whether to wish for a rim shot, or to groan.
