re: #85 yochanan

well with the mention of birch and oak i remember a joke

Two guys in a lumber yard were arguing what kind of wood this board was any one can tell what walnut or cherry looks like but some of the plainner boards are hard to tell so in flys an expert and they both say this guy would know what kind of wood it was so they ask him

Here’s another:

Blind guy applies for a job grading wood for a lumber yard, and the boss asks “How the hell can you grade wood if you can’t see ?

Blind guys says, Sense of smell, never fails me”
The boss not wanted any trouble decides to let the guy have a shot.
The blind guy stands at the end of the conveyer and they shoot a board down under his nose.
The blind guy yells out “pine”
Next board “oak”, then “cedar” and on an on for over a hour without missing a beat.
By then, the entire office is out watching the blind guy and the boss gets a idea.
Looking at the secretary, he said “Linda, lay down on the belt”, and off she goes under the blind guys nose.
The blind guys says “Wait !, turn that last board over and send it down again”
The boss holding back a laugh has Linda flip over and head her down the line.
The blind guys pauses, and says
“It’s old lumber, is it the shit house door from the fish market ?”
