A Little Levity

Walking back from a Starbucks run this morning, I came across a construction worker who was lifting some poles away from a tree he had propped them up against.

"Hm, my what big poles you have." I said.

He stood holding his poles and shot me a slightly shocked/dazed look of:

did I hear her correctly?!

I grinned and waggled my eyebrows at him

and as I continued on my way...

he howled with laughter, leaning against the tree with one hand while wiping tears of mirth with his other.
