HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
The best comedy in life is an unexpected crazy thing coming out of the mouth of a perfectly serious person. Just had one such experience.
I have contracted with five different people to replace the fence in my back yard and put up two new gates. None of the five ever showed up to do the work. However, the most recent person to promise to do the fence seems to mean what he said. The other day he dropped off several sacks of cement for the fence posts. This morning he added a roll of chain-link fencing, posts, and the gates.
A few minutes ago he was back. I said, "Do you need the key to the garage?" No, he didn't. He seemed to be searching for a right way to say something difficult. I began to wonder if he was going to ask to use the bathroom. No, that wasn't it, either. Finally, he uttered these actual words, "Do you have a gasoline-powered post hole digger?"
Now this man knows that I am a little old grandma and I live here alone. I was at first flabberghasted and then tickled, so much so that I almost laughed myself to death on the spot. Between squawks and cackles, I gasped out, "I bet you say that to all the little old ladies."
Well, what it was, he'd not thought he'd have time to get to the hole digging today, but then found a little extra time and figured he could set the posts this evening if I happened to be the one little old chubby grandma on Planet Earth who kept a post hole digger around to admire...that would have to be the only reason. I saw one being used down the street recently and the thing was almost as tall as I am and weighed a good 75 pounds if it was an ounce. Plus it runs on gasoline and shakes like a frightened 75-pound chihuahua. A farmer near to our place in Pennsylvania bought a post hole digger...he got one that runs off the back of the tractor and the tractor holds it up. This farmer said that he didn't feel he was strong enough to run a free-standing one by himself.....but the fence guy thought I might have one. Oh, yes, that was rich..."Do you have a gasoline-powered post hole digger?"
Stuff like that gives a person incentive to get up in the morning. You just never know what screwball thing is going to happen.

That is rich. You should have asked him if he had a hair dryer on him with a diffuser attachment and a retractable cord. Honestly.
