Soon after the Texas Aggie clocked in for work, the foreman
called him over and told him that he had a phone call in the
front office. When the Aggie returned, he had a mournful
expression on his face and his head hyng low. His foreman
noticed and asked if he had recieved bad news.
"Shure was Boss" he replied, "I just found out that my mother
died earlier this morning. "Gosh, thats awful," replied the foreman
"Do you want the rest of the day off?"
"No," replied the Aggie. "I'll finish the day out."
About an hour later, the foreman returned to inform him that
there was another phone call for him up front. This time when the Aggie
returned he looked twice as glum and the foreman asked if everything
was alright. "Jezz, Boss this has to be the worst day of my life," moaned
the Aggie. "That was my brother, and his mother died today too!"
