Ladies with Hoovers and Gents with extension cords. Who needs the city? Let junior use the Shop-Vac.
Here is a plan. Sweep the damn steets. Start with forcing Pince Centre and Parkwood to sweep their lots. They both look like Pig Pen from Charlie Brown.The whole area around both Malls are giant dust clouds. This ain’t rocket surgery folks
What is rocket surgery?
I wanna be a rocket doctor!
I wanted to be a tree surgeon, but I couldn’t stand the sight of sap.
I had to pay for my city bus ride on Thur.-Thought they were free on “dust” Days.
I even asked if I had to pay and they said YES.
Was the driver coughing while he said yes?
