It's been BUSY here at Jacobs! We've remodeled a lot of the store! Again, I'm not going to tell you what we've done...just going to let you guess what we've done. We have weekly specials this week of Boneless-Skinless Chicken Breasts, WILD Copper River Salmon (Thursday), and Chuck Roasts. This week, also we have some special Brats on sale as well...Beer Brats and Jalapeno Cheddar Brats.
Come on in and see what we've done to the place...made it a little newer, yet kept the same quaint store we've always had. Let us know what you think.
A road crew supervisor hired Ole to assist with painting the yellow line down the middle of the road. He was skeptical about hiring him, but he appeared enthusiastic and told him that he really needed the job. At least his wife Lena told him so.
He explained to Ole that his work day would be to complete 2 miles of line on the road, and he has set up with brushes and paint and got him started.
After the first day, the supervisor was pleased to find that he did an excellent job and was able to paint 4 miles of road in his 8 hour shift. He told him that he did an excellent job and how pleased he was with his progress.
On the second day, Ole completed painting 2 miles of road. His supervisor was surprised that on day one, he had completed twice as much work, but did not say anything, as 2 miles of road was the amount that the job required anyway. He decided to just accept it, and to look forward to the next day when he was sure that he would pick up his speed again. On day 3, the supervisor was shocked to learn that in his 8 hour shift, Ole only completed painting 1 mile of road. He was called the supervisor's office and asked what was the problem .. "On your first day, you completed 4 miles of road, on your second day, 2 miles of road, and now on day 3, you were only able to complete 1 mile of road. Can I ask you, what is the problem?"
"Vell," Ole replied, "I'll tell you vhat, but I tought you vould know. Every day I vas getting farder and farder avay from da paint can."
