years ago, who had the worst damed case of plumbers ass I ever saw; I swear I wanted to spackle that thing. The bunch of us on the crew were constantly telling him to pull up his pants but he just laughed.

So we got in the habit of pennying him. We would hold a penny in our hands or under our armpit until it reached body temperature, and carefully drop the penny down his crack while someone else was distracting him.

Later, he would find change in his underwear before he went in the shower, or on especially warm days, the pennies would stick to his ass and get rinsed off in the shower.

he never did catch on. He’d be showering and $.17 would fall on the ground and he’d bend over to pick it up, reveling even more change stuck in his crack. We accused him of shitting money and we suggested he switch from pennies to Krugerrands.

I saw him today. He was doing an installation at a customer where I was. I couldn’t help dropping in a nickel dime and a couple pennies for old times sake.
