I was reading my 5 year old son a bedtime story from a book he and his mother picked out at the library when I noticed this picture......doesn't say much about the requirements for a rod-man job....

Is the monkey on the back supposed to represent the client?? :whistle:

That backhoe has one great nose. Gin Blossom?

What is that "rodman" eyeing? Looks like a part-time archeologist about to shut the job down.

Backhoe's and orange vests go hand in hand. Hard hats, safety glasses and some cones go hand in hand also. I'm calling OSHA...lol

Monkey's seem to fit the agenda as well. Kinda funny how the level isn't level, and the rod monkey is looking for his next banana. hmmmmm

That's weird. At about the same time you posted, I was looking up the origin of the name of the Gin Blossoms band.

Is that rodmonkey for hire? I might be able to give it a promotion to party chief. It's gotta be at least as good as who I have right now! Of course, if I'm not careful, the monkey will replace me.
