"Who'd you see?....."

My husband Darrell is a funny guy. Just ask him and he will tell you. He thinks he is funny all the time, but sometimes he is the only one laughing. BUT when he nails a joke, he totally nails it. Here is an example of one of the funniest things he has ever said. Enjoy.

Darrell was working as a construction superintendent in South Dakota building a school on the Indian Reservation. All the stereotypes about "Native Americans" are true. Per the contract Darrell had to employ a certain amount of local laborers. They were always giving Darrell excuses as to why they didn't show or why they were extremely late (like after lunch).

Darrell was sick of the excuses and nobody showing up to work on Mondays. One guy in particular said that he had all kinds of health problems including Agent Orange poisoning from Vietnam. He said that he was dying and that he had to quit because he only had like 2 months to live.

A couple months later Darrell sees this same man coming up to him. (Shouldn't he be dead by now?) The man says that he wants his job back and that he went to a doctor and was cured.

Darrell said, "Who'd you see? Jesus?"

Now I know it was a long set up for the whole punch line, but if you didn't laugh out loud you just don't have a sense of humor. It's like an inside joke at our house now. It's funny!

I think it's funny; I can just hear him saying that! LOL, good that he finds humor in all that craziness! Did the dude get his job back?

Oh yah, you guys are the kings of inside jokes, I remember how many times some of them circulated just while we went out to dinner one night. I was crackin' ribs laughing.
