Praying For Unemployment

I am a delusional person. Irony makes me laugh.

While Hubby was praying in Sacrament meeting today, he prayed for more rain.
I asked  him later why he would pray for unemployment, and he didn't understand my question.

Why on earth would a concrete man PRAY FOR MORE RAIN?

It's not like he's had enough days off already,
cause concrete men can't work on 'freezing' days either.
If the ground is frozen, you can't dig it.
If the air is too cold, you can't pour concrete.

(Well, you can, but you risk hours of your life breaking up the frozen concrete
 and hauling it off,
not to mention the cost of replacing the concrete
and the second batch of time you have to invest
to pour it, work it, and baby it all over again.
As we just recently were reminded of because
the "pool man's" grandsons
took the "concrete blankets" off the concrete on a freezing cold day so they
 could get access to work on the pool, then they never put
the blankets back on the concrete,
so now WE have to pay to replace the concrete since we can't prove it was them.)

A concrete man praying for rain, would be like a dentist passing out toothbrushes for Halloween.
Or an emergency room doctor praying that we will all get home safely.
Or a weight loss expert asking for the molecular restructuring of donuts:
 "bless the refreshments to nourish and strengthen us." :)
 (has anyone ever wondered about that one before?)
Or someone with depression saying "thank you for this day..."
haha
I'm gonna hafta listen more carefully, I need more examples.
