I am a 18 year old looking for a summer job. it is hard for me to find work and I just want a job so I can afford a car for college next summer. I can clean, babysit, answer phones, pretty much whatever as long as it pays!!
From Mike Anderson to ***********@***********.org
Hey,
I saw your ad looking for work and I think I have a job for you! I am looking for an assistant on my farm for the summer. It will involve working outdoors. Let me know if you are interested.

From Stephanie ******* to Me
Hi Mike! I am interested in your job! I love animals and used to ride horses so a farm would be great! what kind of work would I be doing, and where is your farm located? it needs to be close to ******** so my parents can drop me off and pick meup
From Mike Anderson to Stephanie *********
Stephanie,
It is very close to **********. I'm glad to hear you are familiar with horses, because you will be primarily working with horses.
My farm gets all the old horses that other farms don't need anymore, and they are starting to take up a lot of room in my stable, which I want to turn into a garage for my new truck. Therefore, the horses need to go. As my assistant, you will be in charge of killing the horses and dumping them in the lake behind my farm.
I used to have a captive bolt pistol (cattle gun) that I used to put them down, but it broke when I tried to use it to tap a keg. You'll probably have to use my 12-gauge shotgun to put them down. Sometimes they don't die right away when you shoot them, and will start freaking out. You just have to stay calm and keep shooting. Don't worry, I'll show you how to use the shotgun if you aren't familiar with one.
You then need to use my chainsaw to cut the horses into smaller parts that you can carry down to the lake. It can get a little messy, so I suggest wearing some clothes that you don't care about, or some clothes that the horse blood would compliment.
The lake isn't mine, it is my neighbor's. He gets kind of angry when he sees me dumping dead horses in his lake, so you have to make sure he isn't around when you do it. I have some cinderblocks you can use to weigh the horses down so he won't see them.
I have a lot of horses, and each horse takes about an hour and a half to dispose of, so you should have plenty of work. The job will pay $15 an hour. When can you start?
Mike
From Stephanie ******* to Me
omg that is HORRIBLE! That is truely awful and sick!! Why cant you just give the poor horses away? sorry but I am not helping you slaughter horses!!!
From Mike Anderson to Stephanie *********
Stephanie,
I'm sorry if you are a bit surprised, but this is how farms work. You can't give away old horses, you have to kill them. I thought about it, and if you don't want to use the chainsaw to cut up the horses, you can just use my truck to drag them down to the lake. Do you have your license or permit? If not, this could be good driving practice for you. You don't want to pass up on this great job opportunity.
Mike
From Stephanie ******* to Me
No that is not how farms work you are just SICK! I am NOT interested
From Mike Anderson to Stephanie *********
Stephanie you are going to regret this some day when you try to get a real job. I think this would look great on your resume.

Can you solve this puzzle?
You are riding on a beautiful white horse.
On your left side is a drop off. On your right side are several ostriches being chased by a lion. In front of you are four large gazelles that won't get out of your way, and you can't seem to overtake them. Behind you is a stampede of horses. What must you do to get out of this highly dangerous situation?
* Get your drunk ass off the merry-go-round.. *

How to fish in Texas
I was going to build the Gazebo on the edge of my dock down by the lake but I thought .I might just as well build the deck with floats on it and I can then take it out fishing too...... Has 15,000# capacity. The deck is 18ft x 18ft with 12 plastic foam filled dock floats that are 4ft x 4ft by 18 inches high and the Gazebo is 10 ft. Hexagon with a table and chairs. Inside, under the table is my trolling motor so I can take it out to my favorite fishing hole.. The trolling motor is remote controlled wireless so I can be fishing outside and operate the motor. On the top of the table I have a LOWRANCE Fish-Finder with depth sounding sonar's and temp gauge. I have 2 electric winches with 40# anchors. I have also built in a water pump so I can clean the fish right on the spot.
Now I can relax and fish while my wife can sit and relax.
IN TEXAS , , THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO FISH, AND THEN THERE ARE FISHERMEN !!!

Riverside renames Wong Way to right 'insensitive' street name
Riverside officials have righted what many believe is a decades-old wrong.
For 48 years, "Wong Way" was the name on a short connector street near downtown Riverside.
Now, it is "Wong Street."
Regardless of whether it's way or street, the block is still named after the late George Wong, the last resident of Riverside's former Chinatown. Wong was believed to be 90 or older when he died in 1974, a holdout who never moved from his longtime home.
The former street name, unanimously approved by the Riverside City Council in 1961, appeared to be more of a joke than an honor, said current Riverside City Councilman Mike Gardner, who requested the street name change.
The former street name appeared to imply a "wrong way" while also disparaging Chinese immigrants with limited English skills, Gardner said. The double-entendre wasn't always appreciated.
"It's insensitive and it's a bad joke," said Jean Wong, a member of a citizen group opposed to development of the Chinatown site about block or two from Wong Street. She is not related to George Wong.
Gardner said he had met George Wong shortly before he died and had long thought the old street name didn't show proper respect.
"I wanted to go back and correct the insult," Gardner said.
Wong left China and settled in Riverside in 1914, said Vince Moses, former director of the Riverside Metropolitan Museum and an expert in local history.
The lifelong bachelor lived near the corner of Brockton and Tequesquite avenues, Moses said, and his collection of old cars became something of a landmark. By various accounts, Wong had worked as a cook at the Mission Inn, eventually owned much of Chinatown and ran a restaurant there called Bamboo Gardens.
Chinese immigrants had first settled in Riverside in the 1870s, opening laundries and other businesses, Moses said. A second wave, attracted by work in the citrus groves, arrived in the early 20th century. The community had as many as 500 residents but dwindled until only Wong remained.
Wong delighted in telling tales about events that happened during Chinatown's heyday, said Norton Younglove, a former Riverside city councilman and county supervisor whose father, a fuel wholesaler, regularly sold kerosene to Wong.
"George was quite a character," Younglove said. "He was good storyteller."
Moses said Wong subtly got back at the City Council.
On the other side of the street sign, he painted in Chinese characters a somewhat different street name that reflected his given name. It read: "Wong Ho Leun Street." Wong Ho Leun means "yellow river moon," Moses said.
That sign disappeared at some point and the city replaced it with one that said "Wong Way" on both sides.
The new "Wong Street" signs, installed last month, bring back the Chinese characters.
A search of Google maps turned up four other streets named Wong Way -- in San Jose and San Bruno; in Bristol, Mass.; and New Brunswick, Canada.
If, back in 1961, the Riverside council meant to poke fun at the diction of Chinese immigrants, the joke fell flat in more ways than one. When Wong told stories about Chinatown, he spoke in proper English without a noticeable accent, Younglove recalled.

Stupid is as stupid does
This was recorded from an AC-130 gunship from a mile or more away. No rounds were fired by the aircraft. Some jihadists were trying to bury an IED made from a 155mm artillery shell. Evidently, they lost the instruction manual. Problem resolved, with no US intervention required.
