Why am I working at 9:00 at night?

Dear Rocky-Signage,
On the surface, the obvious answer would be that you were scheduled to work that late. However, after doing a little "close observation" of your situation I realize that there is more to it. My "research" has shown me that you are the boss, so you should be able to dictate your own schedule. However, in this day and age in Alberta there is the whole labour shortage thing going on. It’s very difficult to find employees, and good employees are truly impossible to locate. You could always import cheap labour from Paraguay, but it is costly and time consuming to get them cleared to legally work in this country.
I have had occasion to closely study your situation (when I parked my van just down the street from you and used my binoculars). Perhaps I can suggest a solution. Tell all your clients that you have become convinced that you are being stalked and as a result you will only work during daylight hours. Maybe you could even raise your prices in order to pay for a security guard.
Dear Ernie,
Who let the dogs out?
Some Men in Baha
Dear Baha Men,
Well, I assure you it was not me. Old Man Karhoffer said that he doesn’t need to let out any dogs as long as he has a shotgun loaded with rock salt. Tim does have two dogs that his children will sometimes let out of the house, but they usually don’t roam as far as Baha. Mr. Burns is very fond of "releasing the hounds", but his property is fenced in so they can’t stray very far. As it turns out, Brian is the one who let the dogs out. Now the question is, why would he do such a thing?

‘who let the dogs out?’ is a question like the chicken and the egg.
Hey, Ernie
Can you tell me why Apache Oil, Canada has sold out to the white man?
