Redneck Hiro Falls Asleep On The Job

Where is that awful noise coming from?
I was in college doing part time work at a nursery. My job was shovel dirt all day long. Night time, I work for tv studio doing landscaping for a tv series. Anything they request at job. Sometime, create forest or white beach. One day, I making farmer's front yard in fall. I pile up bunch of straw 6 foot high. Chickens in cage, dried radishes on pole. Spread persimmon leaves on ground. Look like fall. Started film, I don't do nothing. I getting sleepy. I go under the straw. Take nap. Then start their big problem. I snore so loud when I sleep. But after sleep, how I know? I must deep sleep. Start filming again around straw. They heard loud noise. Director told assistant, "What's that?" They looking for where noise come from. Nobody can't find it in big studio. They started film again. Here come the noise. Director said. "Cut! Cut! must come from speaker." Cut all power off to see where noise come from. Noise stop. "See? speakers. OK we were behind. Go start film." Here come noise. "Cut. Cut. Let's early break." People hungry. eat now. About that time, I wake up. Hay on the head. Everybody pointed me. Die laughing. They said, "It's YOU!. We look all over the place. Nobody think in the hay>" Producer was nice guy. He asked me, "How old are you?" I answered him, "21 years old." He said, "We look all over. Can't find you. But no matter what. Sleep middle of studio and snore like that. I give you credit. You do anything future, you will be a success. If you can't find a job, come see me. For few days, workers see me. Smiling. I could kick out of the studio I thought. They told our company about me sleeping and snoring on the job but I didn't lose job. Keep working.
