Thursday funny.

The young couple was driving from town when they happened upon a man that was hitchhiking.

The young man that was driving said we should give him a ride.

The young lady was not so eager, but gave into the love of her life and said O.K.

They pulled over and the burly looking man got in the back seat with a gunny sack filled with something.

"how far you going said the driver"? "about ten miles said the passenger". After about three miles the young lady asks "what's in the bag" the passenger just looks at her for a couple of minutes then says    "I have heads in the bag" "what" said the young lady. He said it again. The driver overhearing the comment made by the new passenger speeds up the car to drop off the passenger sooner.

The passenger just sat there with nothing to say. Then the young man comes up with a cleaver way to get rid of the passenger, he pulls over and says that the car is over heating. The passenger looks at the gauges and says "keep driving it's all good", Scared to death that their heads are to be the next ones in the bag they comply with the request. About five minutes later they reach their destination for the passenger.

 They pull over expecting the worst. They say we are here you can get out of the car. the man gets out throws the bag over his shoulder and says.

"Thanks a lot, you saved me a lot of walking. My mom will be grateful, she's making sauerkraut and

she needs these nine heads of cabbage to get done".

Hi Clint, half the facts can lead to a wrong conclustion.  Very applicable for a home inspector.  We need to make sure we have all available info.

Funny but thoughtful. I've jumped the gun and made a few wrong conclusions as well. Besides, I don't even like cabbage. :)

Any way you can get ahead, it's all good. I thought I saw the cabbage coming. Good post Clint. Fear and ignorance are crutches that always fail to support us.

Thanks Roy, we all need a laugh.

Hi Robert, You got it right. All too often people buy home without getting an inspection first. Then they find out they are in deep doo doo.

Thanks for the comment.

Just stopping by to wish you a great week. Be sure to have your camera in hand to capture the changing colors of the season then share some of you photographs in your blog posts. I'm not too good with my comment writing but hope that some will recall my photographs if my words are forgotten.
