Yesterday, my wife was offered a high paying salaried sales job. She will need to travel most of the western states, and will be calling on municipalities. Not sure she has the stamina for a 40-50 hour week, but the money will be nice. Also, I will probably accept a high paying sales position with a major bank (RBS) today. My compensation will be all commission based, just the way I like it. Both companies offer immediate outstanding benefits, so we'll save the $1600/month that we've been paying for private health insurance right away. However, it is...  |

Maynard G. Krebs will always be best remembered for his response whenever anyone mentioned the subject of work. He would instantaneously shudder, and let out a plaintive cry of "WORK!?!?" I guess a number of youse doan remember Maynard G. Krebs, too young or not hip enough. What's your excuse Bill? |

I remember Maynard, sure, and Dobie and the whole gang. But I am missing how that relates to your new job.

Perhaps it was a bit obscure, but one of Maynard's fav expressions was "Work?!?!?"
Perhaps I am a dick.

Bullshite! You were at least 8 or 9. But you may still be a little baby dick. (Rolling head)

Maynard Krebbs..... remember him well and I automatically associated him with "WORK".
The pre-Gilligan days. I'm still envious that he was stranded on an island with Mary Ann and puzzled why he bunked in the same hut with Skipper.

If I had to pay $1600/mo in health insurance, I'd die of starvation.

Skipper and Gilligan were clearly gay, Bill. I mean, look at their HATS!

Wow! Big congrats, Bob. And I did understand the photo reference. Maynard's cry of astonishment became our mantra back then. (I've got a few years on you.) - Dub |

Oh, and it looks like a sequel was done that I somehow missed.  |
