[Tomato Pickers Wanted] My question is why are farmers and construction labor positions not being filled? Are American workers lazy? We complain about workers taking American jobs but while berries are rotting in the fields and Construction projects are falling farther behind these jobs are open. These jobs should have lines of Americans looking to fill them.
Fact is you can’t steal a person’s job unless they are working at it first. Let’s go folks get off you arses and get out there and work. Drink your water before you hit the job sites because water breaks are not required by labor laws anymore. Family farms/businesses goods are rotting in the strawberry fields while looking for dependable hard working American workers. Make American farms/construction workers great again. Soon berries will be an expensive luxury.
Undocumented workers are not stealing your jobs anymore, Americans just aren’t applying for them.
[Friday Joke] A physicist, an engineer, and a mathematician are all locked in separate burning buildings.
The physicist runs to a chalkboard, calculates exactly how much water he will need to put out the fire, runs and finds that amount, puts out the fire, and survives.
The engineer pulls out a calculator, calculates exactly how much water he will need to put out the fire, runs and finds 10 times that amount, puts out the fire, and survives.
The mathematician runs to a chalkboard, calculates exactly how much water he will need to put out the fire, declares, “There is a solution!”, and then burns to death.

[Flood Water] Just what did they do on the 2 new bumps on Key Deer Blvd? They were smooth and fun to ride over, but the Phd’s tore up each side and the patches are now bumpy. What did they do under the 2 sides that they think would improve the flow? And how are they going to get water to flow from the west that is 1 foot above sea level to the east that is also 1 foot above sea level? If there is any difference in elevation, it’s minuscule. Water flows downhill, but there is no down hill there.
[Rock ‘N Roll] Voodu Sol, The Lower Keys based funk dance band, is back at the Looe Key Tiki Bar tonight, Friday, April 26. The band plays blues-based rock and funk, blues, and Latin rock. Come on out and get your funk out, Friday night from 700 PM till 11.
[“Pressing the CANCEL button twice”] Prior to inserting your card at the ATM. Snopes says that this is false. There is no need to do this.
[Captain Doom and Gloom] 3D printed house. Read this and realize the horror it can create. So much for dignified real estate and middle and upper class neighborhoods. The bleeding-heart freaks just don’t get it. Slavery was never meant to be stopped. Can you see the French Rivera with these rat traps? Or Atherton, California?  Ha Link

[Friday Joke] Woman: And how long have you been drinking?
Man: About 20 years, I suppose
Woman: So a beer costs $5.00 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450.00. In one year it would be approximately $5400.00 correct?
Man: Correct
Woman: If in 1 year you spend $5400.00, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000.00 correct?
Man: Correct
Woman: Do you know that if you didn’t drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought a  Ferrari?
Man: Do you drink beer?
Woman: No.
Man: Where’s your Ferrari?

[Pecker] The main witness testifying in the Porn star trial is named Pecker. You can’t make this stuff up.
[Obey God] It’s amazing how many free bibles you can receive simply by asking anyone of the many free Bible sites online. Or you can spend $60 and get one from ‘God’s  chosen one’ (his words exactly not mine) a former President and know it’s what God, himself would rather you do.
