? How come gunwriters don't do manual labor ?

Gunwriters do do manual labor. When we sink posts on our farm it takes us hours to get the tractor out, remove whatever was last attached - find the post-hole digger attachment, find the new belt for the PTO, get out the grease gun and shoot the grease nipples full, start to drag tghe post-hole digger out of the barn and then notice the wasp nest hanging from the pneumatic control box, then run like hell and find the BIG can of hornet and wasp spray. After spraying the nest we wait on the screen porch waiting for the damn wasps to die and then we are too darn tired to dig holes - we can do that tomorrow!

I bet JBs posthole digger is used so much it looks like polished chrome. Yeah, that's it.

You must be a budding gunwriter as I have noticed you have conned some one else to do the labor as you and The Duck supervise.
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience

In all fairness to our dearly departed Gun writer:
Somewhere in the 80s Mr. John Wooters was writing about 'writers' and 'editors'. His quote is this:
"Them as can, writes and them as can't, edits". TNC

Both of those guys appear to have been quite successful at avoiding most all manual labor, and gyms.

I'm the poor soul that go conned into digging the hole and when I got down about 12 inches, I could tell I was digging in virgin soil so I think I know why the post tipped over... I think it will bust off before it falls over this time!
We almost got even with The Duck as we just about drove off with his shovel, post hole digger, clam digger, and digging bar!!! He said they were his wife's, though, as none of the handles seemed to fit his hands..

Good job. I hope you got lunch out of the deal, or at least a Coke.
Sort of reminds me of the Highway Dept tree planting crew: Three men. One to dig the hole, one to place the tree, and one to fill the hole back up. If one was sick the other two just had to drink Coke all day, hold the shovel, and look at the ground.

Why don't gun writers do manual labor?
Sam Clements (aka Mark Twain) explained it well in his Tom Sawyer book when Tom convinced Huck Finn that painting the fence was a lot of fun. Huck painted while Tom just sat.
I guess gun writers are just a little bit smarter than post hole diggers.

Mike was furnishing the tools and materials. He's management, they're labor. Sounds fair to me.
