Someone came to look at my deck this morning, and a funny thing happened

[BillsFanForever19]

I mean, if I need work done - I don't care what their sports allegiances are. Maybe if it came up in conversation, i'd tell him i'm a Bills fan and what I think of the Dolphins. But i'd never not hire someone because they're a fan of any sports team.

I had a person who restores decks come to give me a quote this morning and his name was Josh Allen.  I of course busted his chops about that and he replied that he was Josh Sr. and the other was Josh Jr.  I chuckled but then he hit me with this little tid bit, this guy is a Dolphin fan.  A freaking Dolphin fan.  I asked him if he really wanted the job.  I had a mind not to.  I like his price, he was very professional, reviews are great but he is a Dolphins fan.  

 

I decided to give him the job when I remembered that it is no longer the 70's or early 80's and the Dolphins are no loner our real rivals.  For the last 20 years it has been the Pats, but I now think it is becoming the Jets, just my .02

 

So what would you have done?

 

If he introduced himself as @mead107, you should require some Stromboli be thrown in, as well.

I would have started this thread with “Hear me out…”.

Perhaps the LAMPiest of LAMP posts ever.  Jesus Christ. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I miss read the word “deck” for the briefest of seconds and it makes a huge difference….

Sometimes LAMPs are accidents.  I found out what LAMP meant when I got eye rolls for sharing that I had a bad thought about the Bills playoff chances.  I deserved the text lashing.

LAMP!!

And major humble brag.  We get it. You have a deck.  Must be nice to be rich.

What if his name was Tom Brady and he was a Bills fan?

 

Figured this was more likely than being Tua Tagovailoa and a Bills fan.

And yet you still found it impossible not to look and then respond with a post that is a LAMP in and of itself.

In some parts of the country 4 pallets screwed together are considered a deck.

Have you seen the price of pallets these days?
