I wasn't picking peaches

 

Picking peaches is an itchy job.

My pop got fired from at least two jobs. That I know of. One of them was the infamous Shangri-La firing when he was in college which I will talk about another day. But then there's also the time he lasted two days picking peaches.

I have no idea where a kid from the Bronx gets a job picking peaches. Or why. But he had a job picking peaches and it didn't go well. Peach fuzz is itchy, apparently.

Pop was sitting on top of a ladder eating a peach when the foreman walked by. The foreman said, "Hey, you can't eat a peach and pick peaches at the same time!!!"

Pop replies, "I wasn't picking peaches."

And that was his last day picking peaches.
