There's an old sea story about a ship's Captain who inspected his
sailors, and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad.
The Captain suggested that perhaps it would help if the sailors would
change underwear occasionally.
The first mate responded, "Aye, aye, sir, I'll see to it immediately!"
The first mate went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced,
"The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear."
He continued, "Pittman, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change
with Wilkowski, and Brown, you change with Schultz."
Jud, the category is "Buy, Sell, Trade".
Now, I have a question, are you looking for a surveyor to trade with?
IF so, you might contact TDD. It's his birfday today.

It's probably been fifteen years ago that I had at least one crew that took the term "shabby" to the next level.
They were working in a particular residential area one day and I received a phone call from the neighborhood "busy body". She had read the name on the side of the truck and was concerned that the "men that are out here" might have stolen it!
I asked her, "Is there three of them that look like a bunch of pirates, two with beards and one skinny one that needs shampoo?"
"Yes, that's them."
I told her they were indeed my employees and besides what they appeared, they were honest and hard-working gents. When the guys came in we laughed about it but I took the opportunity to remind them when someone calls about their appearance, maybe it's time to clean up.
That Christmas I gave everybody new flannel shirts. I shoulda given them gift-cards to the Barber Shop. 😉
