16. He Was On A Break!
My construction company was building a new addition to a hospital. One morning, the president of the hospital called to inform me that he had just watched one of our laborers smoke dope in his truck while on break. So, I went to the job site and talked to the kid. His answer was hilarious.
He said, “Ya, I was, but I waited ’til break time”. You also weren’t supposed to drive your personal vehicle to the job site for liability reasons, and you’re certainly not supposed to smoke dope, even on break. We’ve had some winners over the years, but that kid took the cake.
