Bob 3000 Post Club Member Registered: 06/01/01 Posts: 3634 Loc: Orlando FL	The church door was open, so I walked into a dark hallway towards the pastor's office. I could see a shadow and I assumed it was the pastor. Just as I got to the office, a figure jumped out at me and yelled. I would have dropped my tools, had I not already put them down by the sanctuary! It turns out the maintenance man thought I was the pastor, and decided to jump out and scare him! $\:D$ _________________________ www.APerfectpiano.com Piano Technician serving Orlando and Central Florida 1927 Steinway M, rebuilt/refinished 2005 - Selling 20k

Keith Roberts 1000 Post Club Member Registered: 05/04/04 Posts: 1984 Loc: Murphys, Ca	I've always wondered why people think that scaring someone is a fun thing to do to people. Being scared is such an enjoyable thing. Right? _________________________ Keith Roberts Associate, PTG Keith's Piano Service Hathaway Pines,Ca
