I’ve been hitting up Craiglist for new projects. I’ve veered away from submitting formal intro emails and have tried to respond uniquely. One company wanted somebody with a sense of humor, so I responded with this email:
A construction worker on the 4th floor of an unfinished building was too lazy to get a handsaw on the ground level. So he whistled down to a fellow worker on the ground to get it for him. Being 4 levels up, the lazy construction worker couldn’t be heard, so he started making signals.
First he pointed to his eyes (meaning “I”). Then pointed to his knees (meaning “need”) and then began moving his hand back and forth mimicking the motions of a hand saw.
Finally the guy on the ground starting nodding his head as if he understood and dropped his pants and started to masturbate. The guy on the 4th floor turned beet red and ran down to yell at his fellow worker, “You idiot! I was trying to tell you I needed a hand saw”.
The other guy replied, “I know, I was trying to tell you I was coming.”
