After some time, there is a pile of cobblestones outside his home.

His contractor neighbor notices and asks, “What’s up with all these rocks?”

Guy responds, “Oh, they’re the cobblestones I use to protect myself when coming home.”

Neighbor thinks for a few seconds and says, “I think we have enough rocks for a full fence here. Next time, when you come home, fill up some socks with some sand.”

#154 Not Fired, Just Playing Hard to Get

A carpenter walks onto a job site of a large company and hands the foreman his application.

The foreman begins to scan the sheet and notices that the applicant has been fired from every job he ever had.

“I must say,” says the foreman, “your work history is terrible. You’ve been fired from every job.”
“Yes,” says the carpenter.
“Well,” continues the foreman, “there’s not much positive in that.”

“Hey!” says the guy as he pokes the application. “At least I’m not a quitter.”
