Who needs a man to clear snow?? The only 'man' you need is John Deere with a blade on the front for winter and a mower deck for summer

Get a chain saw fer yer logs (or a hunky neighbour with a big chopper

) and yer set

She also wants a 'pool boy'... next she'll be wanting a gardener... and a plumber and an electrician and yes, a hunky neighbour with a big chopper. Pretty soon she'll be sending FedEx parcels to herself so the local delivery man with the nice package knocks on her door. I know her type. All too well....

I am truly flattered. Well I would be, if I didn't get the impression that the big draw is the beer rather than my feminine wiles. Story of my life.

You don't need a man or a John Deer.

Mrs_P does just fine thank you very much.

I should be so lucky - my "parcel person" is a very macho looking 'lady'

Did you forget I have an acreage and a long driveway? It would take me a week by hand

Mrs_P won't let me anywhere near a snow shovel or the bloody lawn mower, I think she's worried about my pension cheque.

Justifiably so I'm afraid.

Jules is the opposite, and I think she is concerned with my insurance policies

Thank you for your interest in this position.
Please forward your resume and references by PM detailing relevant experience and qualifications. First interviews will be held in Vancouver in the summer. Only successful applicants will be contacted. Full role profile available upon request.

My sudden, supreme, and frankly unexpected, eligibility means I have to resort to a strict recruitment process. I'm working on an outline of the benefits package but it will include beer allowance and full use of a John Deere snow blower on Sundays.
