A few years ago I visited two friends who were shearing their sheep. They had the sheep up on the table and asked me if I could come and help them. I said yes, what do you need me to do? They asked if I could hold the sheep sack, so I said yes. They sheared one side and then turned to the other side to shear, so they wanted me to hold the sack again. When the sheep were sheared and on their way, I asked them who held the sack when I wasn’t there. They said no one. Well, you don’t want to know my response.
