The Redneck Science Project

I was talking to the "construction crew" (I use the term very loosely. It is more like the "isn't it time for break" crew) yesterday afternoon and they were trying to find where the water lines were buried on the property. I half jokingly asked if they were ready to break out the "divining rods." The reply was "I could probably witch some up." All I had to do was plant the seed of an idea and redneck curiosity took over. After the crew took a 2 1/2 hour lunch, I happened to look out my living room window and there all three of them are standing in the driveway with homemade divining rods trying to find the water lines. Every time they thought the diving rods had located the water lines, they would scratch out a big "X" with their foot, and laugh a maniacal laugh like they had just brought Frankenstein to life. "X" doesn't necessarily mark the spot when it comes to the "water whisperers", so I am probably going to end up with a yard full of big holes and no water. They did manage to find the mud puddle located right in front of them. Bill Nye the Science Guy and Larry the Cable Guy would be proud of them.
