When I was young and looking to earn some money for college, my friend asked me if I wanted to do some carpentry work on a house in a resort area. I said sure.

I got to the house, it was a huge sucker. My carpentry job was carrying shingles on my shoulder up a double ladder. My carpenter boss suggested I split the bundles in half and I told him no way I am making extra trips up that ladder.

Towards the end of the day they let me hammer some shingles in to give me a break.
