"Superb"

By Brucie133, Sep 20, 2009

The first job was Surfboard maker. It was pretty interesting and it was funny. Especially the part where the guy told Mike that he had not seen much worse. The job after that was bee keeper. I liked this job and the people who worked it. The final job was sludge cleaner. It was interesting and funny, but i did not really like the people who did the job. Overall the was a superb episode. It was funny, interesting. My favorite job on this episode was the bee keepers. But all the jobs were great and Mike was funny as usual.moreless

- (said while bottling honey in a bear) Mrs. Hunt: That's a two pound bear and that goes for $6. Mike: So if a two pound bear goes for $6 and a one quart bottle goes for eight dollars, a one quart bottle must weigh over two pounds. Mrs. Hunt: It's three pounds. Mike: See? I did that all in my head! Mrs. Hunt: Very good. Mike: Thanks.
