A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant lot. One day a
construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot.
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
gems-in-the-rough, 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 a dollar.
The little girl took this home to her mother who said all the
appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take the dollar
pay she had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account.
When they got to the bank the teller was equally impressed with the
story and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay
check at such a young age.
The little girl proudly replied, "I worked all last week with a crew
building a house."
My goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you be working on the
house again this week, too?"
The little girl replied, "I will if those useless bastards at Home
Depot ever bring us the fucking drywall."
Snicker, snicker. Nice update on the old "I'm not getting a switch, that's
a fuc*ing electrician's job" joke.

As I was reading this I was expecting the punch line to be something about
... 1. Child labor abuses, or 2. Minimum wage abuse, or 3. The income tax
she was going to have to pay.
