Grunt Work Discussion

“Why do I always have to carry the heavy stuff?”

“Because you’re stronger.”

“You owe me.”

“Come on, you lift weights. What’s the problem?”

“My routine doesn’t normally include carrying one hundred pounds of camera equipment up three flights of stairs.”

“Then think of it as a new exercise. It’s good for you.”

“I hope you know that you’re going to hell.”

“Yeah but not for this. It’s not that bad, I’m doing fine.”

“You’re only carrying three rolls of duct tape.”

“They’re full rolls.”

“Oh, Please don’t hurt yourself.”

“You’re right, here take a couple.”

“Sarcasm is lost on you.”

“I don’t see why you’re so bitter.”

“You mean slave labor is supposed to be cheery?”

“We’re not slave labor. We’re photographic apprentices.”

“So what are we learning by doing your dad’s grunt work?”

“Well, now we know why photographers have children.”

“You’re not funny.”

“I try, but I can’t please every one.”

“I could be sleeping now.”

“Would sleep be any better than this?”

“I never hurt myself sleeping.”

“What about that time you rolled off the top bunk at the beach?”

“I was awake then. My brother kicked the mattress up.”

“Why did he do that?”

“I think he’s trying to kill me.”

“Who isn’t?”

“You’re still not funny”
