Funny dialogues on a Tuesday Afternoon
Joshua and his assistant installing a new glass shower door in our bathroom.
Joshua:
This is a really old shower. At least 20 years old.
Linda:
Old? We put it in in 1979.
Joshua:
See? That's when I was born.
Linda:
Crazy world when we have to change a whole door just because the rubber seal is worn out.
Joshua:
Now don't use this new one for a day. You got plenty of other showers to use.
Linda:
Ok, we'll just smell for a day or two. That's how we were brought up in England.
Joshua:
You from England? My mother's from Maine.
Linda:
Oh.
Joshua:
My mother's an artist.
Linda:
Oils?
Joshua:
Sure thing. She tried to get me to paint but I wouldn't. So I made $32,000 dollars when I was 23 and she tried to make me buy welding tools to make art stuff. I wouldn't.
Linda:
You could have made gates and fences!
Joshua:
Nah. I like to keep busy. You got a lot of art. Posters too. You paint? You collect?
Linda:
Not any more. We like to sell.
Joshua:
I made $2300 from Estate Sales. I saw this poster online and I looked up the artist on my i-phone and I said, I gotta get that, so I bought it for $100 and sold it to a dealer. Another time I got this poster at a sale and it turned out it was stolen and never reported. These guys they offered me $500 and I said, I coulda got a reward, you pay me double, so I got $1000.
Linda:
What did you do with my old shower door?
Joshua:
It's in the front. Why, you want it?
Linda:
Put it in the back, I could use it as a coffee table.
Joshua (to his assistant):
Put it where she wants.
On the back patio:
Linda:
Herminio, put the bronze sculpture of the lady under the window and let's put the glass shower door on it.
Herminio:
Like this?
Linda:
Like that, to the left, take off the old rubber seal, very good, now she's a coffee table again.
Herminio:
Oh Linda Linda Linda! But Abigail, what she say? She tell me, oh oh, Herminio, quick put the door in the trash, my mother coming!
Linda:
You're right!
Herminio:
What her house? Very clean?
Linda:
Very clean! Stop laughing!
Herminio:
She put everything in the trash, right? And Absalom?
Linda:
Absalom would say, Mom! Move that table! It's dangerous for the children! Mom, deal with it!
Herminio:
Ha ha ha!
Linda:
And Zachary would say, put it in my room and I'll take it to New York!
Herminio:
And what he say, Boaz?
Linda:
And Boaz would say, Stop, let's sell it!
Stop laughing!
Herminio:
Ha ha ha ha!
He climbs back up his ladder, still laughing.
Linda goes to write it all down. Something else to save!
