Received this from a friend who got it from a friend so I can't vouch for the truthfulness of the story but it sounds appropriate. Roll Tide.
I work at the Barn. A Bama man working at the Barn, you ask? Yes indeedy.
You’d be surprised a the number of Tide fans employed by Auburn. A fellow
Tider, who also works here, said: “heck, if it wasn’t for the Alabama folks
who keep things running around here, these idiot’s would have to shut the
place down. Then who’d we make fun of?†By the way, the fact that there are
so many “Bammers†working at the university drives the boogs absolutely
nuts. They can’t believe that Barn employees won’t pull for AU. One
supervisor actually wanted to fire all of the Alabama folks . . . seriously
. . . I kid you not.
Anyhow, it is absolutely hilarious to see the effect that the improvements
at Bryant-Denny are have on the barners. Trying to figure out a way to add
more seats to the “chicken-coop†is creating a huge stir amongst the
“whoa-eagle†management. The problem is, the ground at Jordan Hare won’t
support any more weight. Believe it or not they are actually looking at
digging the field down lower in an attempt to find room for just one seat
more than Bama.
In the week prior to the first game, there was a tremendous flurry of
activity as the most perfect model of inefficiency and corruption on the
plains strove mightily to wrap up their Alabama prompted stadium improvement
package, including complete restroom renovations, before the first game.
Well, Saturday arrived and all was well . . . or so it seemed.
About half way through the second quarter of the Washington State game, a
crappy situation began to develop in the new restrooms. About a third of the
stadium's toilets, urinals & sinks began to back up and overflow, putting
them out of commission and creating quite a "stink". AU fans were livid.
Seems that many of them don’t get to “town†very often, and that indoor
plumbing is one of the real treats that they look forward to during football
games. Gives ‘em something to talk about back on the farm. I can understand
that.
Anyway, the “pig-pen†was a hive of activity on Monday as barners of every
description, and pay scale, sought to discover the cause of the disaster.
Then somebody remembered: “gee, we forgot to tie the sewer line in on that
side of the stadium. Believe it, or not, they had run an 8†sewer line into
a dead end hole, and simply covered it up without connecting it to the main.
This incident has been the source of a great deal of amusement for many of
us down on the plantation. Hope it makes you smile too.
