Work as a Painter??!!

As you all know I work at the BYU paint show and on my crew is three other men that are in their 50's and 60's. Since I am in this situation I have very interesting stories happening everyday. But they are the type of stories where you had to be there to understand how funny they are. Today at work the men were having their usual conversation about tools, camping, fishing, deer hunting, and yard work. I usually smile and pretend that I know what they are talking about but most the time I don't. Today Jim was talking about his fifth wheel. I had no idea what that was so I asked. The look on the three men's faces were priceless. They looked shocked and once they realized that I was serious they all started laughing. Norm was laughing so hard that his eyes were watering. It's funny how they expect me to have all this knowledge that they have. Jim was asking me if I liked deer hunting and I told him I had never been and he was shocked. I have never felt more feminine anywhere else than I have on this job. This is the first time I am working where I am out numbered by boys and they are all to old. It's too bad there not rich(J/K). I am sure that was boring to read but this is my life.

I thought your story had alot of humor. What could be more condusive to a funny situation than three older men working with a youg attractive girl who knows little about the mans world. By the way a fifth wheeler is a trailer larger than ours.
