The mining company that I am employed by has about 400 employees at the site where I work. In addition there are about 100 contractors doing various tasks. One of the new contractors, a woman named JoJo, who was hired a few weeks ago already has a reputation for a raunchy sense of humor and the ability to enjoy a bit of suggestive joking around.
This morning I was working in the same area as her. I had to relocate a piece of equipment and had planned to use some zip ties to hold it in place until I could get some proper nuts and bolts. I went digging around in my bag of tools and found that I only had one zip tie. I used it and went to get more.
As I walked by JoJo I spotted a few zip ties near where she was. I picked some up but they were only 6 inches long, too short for my needs, I needed some of the longer 14 inch ones. When JoJo saw me she came over and told me ‘Help yourself, I don’t need those anymore.’ I said “Thanks but they are too short.’
I found some longer zip ties that were much larger than I needed but they were all I could find so they would have to do. These were heavy duty ones 20 inches long and ¾ of an inch wide. When I was done the job I had one left over. Having heard of JoJo’s sense of humor I went over to her and held out the zip tie. ‘You can have this’ I told her ‘if you think you husband might have a use for it.’ She laughed and grabbed it immediately. I then said ‘One is good for your wrists but you’ll need another for your ankles. I’ll go get you another one.’ She laughed again and said “Thanks.’
I returned with six more and told her ‘Now you can invite some friends over to have some fun. Let me know when the video is on YouTube.’ Her response was ‘If I do that everyone will want to come to my parties.’
I left it at that but I intend to follow up next week to see how her weekend went.
