Contractor Comedy
Three Brothers
Three elderly brothers, who had all retired from the construction trade, ages 92, 94 and 96, shared a house together. One evening, the 96 year old brother went upstairs to take a bath. As he put his foot into the tub, he paused. Then he yelled down to the other two brothers and asked, "Was I getting in the tub or out?" "You dern fool," said the 94 year old. "I'll come up and see." When he got half way up the stairs he paused. "Was I going up the stairs or down?" The 92 year old brother was sitting at the kitchen table drinking a cup of tea and thought, "I hope I never get that forgetful, knock on wood." He shook his head and called out, "I'll be up to help you both as soon as I see who's at the door."
