    Default Bunnings!

    This is truly a heart-warming story about the bond formed between a little
    girl and some builders. This makes you want to believe in the goodness of
    people and that there is hope for the human race.

    A young family moved into a house next door to an empty plot. One day a
    construction crew turned up to start building a house there. The young
    family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the
    activity
    going on next door and started talking with the workers.

    She hung around and eventually the construction crew, all of them rough
    diamond types, more or less adopted her as a kind of project mascot. They
    chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and lunch
    breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel
    important.

    At the end of the first week they even presented her with a pay envelope
    containing $5. The little girl took this home to her mother who said all
    the
    appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take the money she
    had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account.

    When they got to the bank the clerk was equally impressed with the story
    and
    asked the little girl how she had come by her very own wage packet at such
    a
    young age. The little girl proudly replied, "I worked all last week with
    the
    builders, building a house."
    "My goodness gracious," said the clerk, "and will you be working on the
    house again this week, too?"

    The little girl replied,

    "I will if those useless ***** at Bunning's Warehouse ever bring us the ******* plasterboard."

    how true
    Some People are like slinky's,
    They serve no purpose at all,
    but they put a smile on your face when you throw them down the stairs.
