A strong young man at a construction site was bragging that he could outdo anyone in a test of strength.
He especially enjoyed teasing one of the older workers.
After listening to him for several minutes, the older worker finally had enough.
Older Worker:
“Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is? I’ll bet a week’s wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that building that you won’t be able to wheel back.”
Young Man:
“You’re on, old man! Let’s see you do it.”
The older worker calmly grabbed the handles of the wheelbarrow.
Then he nodded toward the young man and said:
Older Worker:
“All right, tough guy. Get in.”
