Advice from Strangers
This week's guest: Moe Howard
Dear Moe:
I like to think of myself as a good team leader, but two of my coworkers
seem entirely incompetent and can turn a simple building project into a
debacle! How can I instill some discipline into these nincompoops?
Vexed in Vicksburg
Dear Vexed:
I've been in your shoes, fella, and let me tell you it's no walk in the
park. "Nincompoops" is a good start, but you might also want to dish out a
few "numbskulls," "saps" and "porcupines" for variety. Also, keep in mind
that almost any work-related piece of equipment can be fashioned into an
impromptu disciplinary aid. A simple wood saw, for example, can be flexed in
such a way as to deliver a satisfying slap in the face without leaving a
mark. Be careful using the blade of the saw on the back of a knucklehead's
skull, though, as this tends to bend all the teeth in comical directions.
Moe
Dear Moe:
I'm throwing a fancy dinner party for a monocle-wearing dignitary and his
wife of delicate upbringing, who are visiting from Quackelvania. I'm quite
worried that the three ne'er-do-wells I hired to do the catering will make a
disaster of my party and embarrass me! How can I ensure my ball is elegant
and civilized?
Dignified in Dartmouth
Dear Dignified:
Don't you worry about a thing, toots! We'll have this dinner party
ship-shape before you know it. We've got the roast all cooked and ready,
sitting
on
the counter right there next to that similar-looking burlap sack full of
sawdust. And bread? Oh boy, do we have bread. Take a look at this great big
loaf sitting right by that feather pillow over there. Now all we'll need is
about six, no, let's say SEVEN pies for every guest. You can't have enough
pies, you know.
Moe
