To: Leaning Right

Did a job many years ago and needed some important supplies and was dreading the five-hour drive from the small town to the big town to pick it up (and then back again). The guys said “Oh - we can ship it to you.”

“Um - I don’t think so.”

“Don’t worry, it will be fine.”

So I told the little motel that I was getting a package that was valuable and when they got it to hold it in the office for me as it was expensive.

“Sure - no problem.”

Get back in from the field the next evening and ask for my package. The guy goes looks in the room behind the counter and it wasn’t there. Another guy points to the front door - “Is that it?”

Yep - that was it. Holding the front door open so the air could flow through. About 20 pounds worth of blasting caps!

Well, I guess that would hold the door open...
