When the hiring business is dead.

he is about to have that old “sinking feeling”

Nice to see he’s wearing a mask to protect from Covid. Wouldn’t want anything bad happening to him.

Quick, the sugar packets you’ve been saving!

Label on Concrete mix – ‘Just Add Water’

Romans invented concrete. Still cherished among their descendants.

“I don’t think I’m doing this right. You need to show me how.”

Well, no wonder help is hard to find…your retirement plan sucks.

You got a big stick … whack him with it.

Has this every happened in reality?

One of my first lessons of scuba diving in Lake Michigan was to keep an eye out for buckets of cement. Swim the other way. I have nothing to say. Dive another day.

No much job security eh?

Bleeb is doing a backstroke.

Hey, looks like the bad guy concreted Bleebs feet first. Someone save him quick!

Faster, I haven’t got all day.

Bleeb!! Quick!! Get outa the water! Are you nuts… you’re basically fish bait!

The reason they are short on help is because all the help got killed.

I’ve never understood the people in television and film who obey the person telling them to dig their own grave. I’d say you’re going to kill me anyway, I’m not about to dig my own grave.

Yes your honour, it really was suicide!!!

Too chilling to think about!

You can leave now and he’ll finish it when your gone…

Ummmm…hello, your hands are free! So what is the worst he can do, shoot you?

Since he isn’t holding a gun on him, why doesn’t he hit him with the stick he is using to mix the cement with?

Love that pork pie hat.

Not much different than making him dig his own grave

If I were you Bleeb I would get the hell out of there. Hit men don’t like witnesses.

Sign on the door of my local Jimmy John’s: “The entire world is short-staffed right now. Please be kind to the ones who showed up.”

If he’s that stupid, he deserves to die. Hang on Bleeb!!!!!!!!! :)

Dexter gets his due!
