Angle Grinder man, working in tandem with Jackhammer Man, grinding angles. The incessant shriek of metal on concrete.

Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Jackhammer Man and Angle Grinder Man. Buddies. Comrades in arms. Filling the air with hubub and the dust of construction.

Never in the late afternoon, never at midday, never at mid-morning, always first thing. Their machines on a timer. It’s 8am – it’s time to start Jackhammering and Angle Grinding.

Nobody can touch us. We are all powerful. We Hammer, We Grind.

Nothing, that is, apart from Steal Your Tools While You Go On Lunch Man.

GudungScreeeeeeeee that you fucking cunts.
