I feel that I am reserved for some end or other

(Clive)

?

I had a story, but I think I'll change it and tack it on to Frank's. When they built this tunnel that Frank was talking about through this St. Plain, they didn't know when they were going to through from one end to the other.? So what they did, this cockney foreman got two of his brothers-in-law over from England and he said, "Now you've got a very soft job here. One of you've got to stand at one side and the other's going to stand at the other side, and then when you can both see each other, we're through the mountain."

?

But of course during the actual building of the thing, all these two men could do was just hang about until ready and somebody came up to them one day and said, "What the devil do you think you're doing, hanging about?"

?

And the reply was, "I don't know, but I feel I'm reserved for some end or 'nother."
