Q. What are you surveying for?
Me: The government is taking this land for a new nuclear waste disposal site.

They're paying fair market value, but don't worry, they won't need your property; just your adjointers.

Sometimes humor can be useful, Keith.
Once, on asurvey in the mountains of Northh County San Diego, a guy ina pickup came screchingn up to us on the site. I was wanreddd that one of the neighbors was "hostile".
The guy jumped out of the truck loudly demanding to know what we were doing.
Since I noticed awindow sticker on his truck for the North Island Navy Base, I told him that we were laying out the new submarine pens and that I kept telling the office that the coordinates were wrong, but "...you know Navy brasss. They're never wrong!"
When he sopped laughing, he askedd again, much friendlier.
I mshareddwhat wewere doing and what we had found.
He spent the next hour discussing the history of the area and showing us some monuments that I doubt we would have ever found without his help. He turned out to a huge asset.
Sometimes, Keith, humor can be very useful, but you do have to be careful how you use it and with whom.

I fully realize that, but the asinine remarks about surveying for a 4 lane interstate and will have to take the house,,,,,is not funny.
