Plow

F: I haven't had that Chevy going in over a year but I went out there today, turned the key and the starter only turned over about five times, rrrr-rr-rr, you know, and then brooooomm, the engine started right up and it went running right along. I couldn't believe it.

J: I thought you couldn't drive it.

F: That's right, you can't drive it. I've got the wheel off. I'm working on the brakes.

J: Then why did you say it went running down the road?

F: NO. What I said was, after I started it up, the engine ran.

J: Oh. Good. Now we can use it.

F: Use it for what?

J: For plowing.

F: (shaking his head) We're not going to use it for plowing. We already have someone who plows the driveway.

J: Well, we could do it ourselves.

F: Are you going to spend fifteen hundred bucks on a plow? Its more cost effective to pay someone else to do it then to do it yourself. There's the plow and upkeep on the truck. Ppfff (waving his hand dismissively).

A: Didn't you want to sell it?

F: Yes. That's what I'm going to do. Sell it.

J: Well, I want to use that truck to plow the driveway. After you're gone (with great emphasis).

F: You can't keep that stove going and you're going to plow the driveway?!

J: I can do it.

F: Oh yeah? How are you going to attach the plow and take it off?

J: (loftily) I have friends who can do that sort of thing. They'll help me.

A: (uncontrollable laughter)
