Joke

Guy shows up for his first day at work at the local soil ‘n’ aggregate yard. They got these trucks comin’ in an he’s gotta tell em where to go.

He labels the truckloads as they come in. You gotcher humus, yer gravel, your potting soil.

It’s easy, says Manny, showin’ him the ropes. Truck comes in, you check the paperwork. Chalk up on the hopper where it’s headed. Got it? 

Guy says “Yeah, I got this boss. Rest assured.” Manny says, “Great, and keep an eye out for the gravel. We got enough o’ the ordinary soil and need to build inventory in aggregate. I’ll see you around lunch.”

First load comes in marked down for loam. After that, aside from one hopper filled with beach sand around 10:30, one load after another goes straight to loam. He’s on top of it, marking each bin “loam”, until finally there’s a line of idling diesels waiting to offload, all at the same bay.

About this time, Manny comes back, humoring the trainee, but clearly a bit steamed to see the trucks all cued up.

“Ok, so I see you’ve been workin’ the incoming shipments, but I need to know why my yard is all jammed up.”

“I can’t help it boss! Look right here in my manifest! All loads read ‘to loam’”
