Alright, let’s talk about them brick things, you know, the ones they use to build houses and stuff. I heard there’s four kinds, so let’s see if this old brain can remember them all.
First Class Bricks:
- Now, these first-class fellas, they’re the cream of the crop, you know? They’re all even and smooth, like a baby’s bottom.
- No bumps or cracks on them, and they got this nice, pretty color. They’re strong too, real strong. You could build a whole castle with these, and it wouldn’t fall down, not even if a big ol’ wind came through.
- And they don’t soak up water like some of them other bricks. That’s important, you see, ’cause if a brick drinks too much water, it’ll get all crumbly and weak.
- They cost a pretty penny, these first-class bricks, but they’re worth it, I reckon. You get what you pay for, that’s what my old man always said.
Second Class Bricks:
Then you got your second-class bricks. They’re not quite as fancy as the first-class ones, you know? They might have a little bump here or there, a little crack maybe.
But they’re still good bricks, mind you. They’ll hold up a house just fine, long as you don’t go building no skyscraper with them.
They’re a bit cheaper too, which is good if you’re on a budget. And they still don’t soak up too much water, so that’s a plus.
Third Class Bricks:
Now, these third-class bricks, well, they’re kinda rough around the edges. They got bumps and cracks all over the place, and they ain’t always the same color. Some are red, some are orange, some are even kinda brownish. They look like they’ve been through the wringer, you know?
But they’re still bricks, and they’ll still do the job, long as you don’t need them to be pretty or nothin’. They’re good for building sheds or fences, or maybe a little chicken coop out back. And they soak up more water than the first two types. You gotta be careful when you use them, make sure they don’t get too wet.
Fourth Class Bricks:
And then there’s the fourth-class bricks. These are the bottom of the barrel, you know? They’re all crooked and cracked and broken. They look like they’ve been chewed up and spit out by a dog.
I wouldn’t use these to build nothin’ important, that’s for sure. Maybe you could use them to fill in a hole or something, but that’s about it. They drink water like a fish, these ones. You best keep ’em far away from any moisture.
They’re cheap as dirt though, so if you’re really strapped for cash, I guess they’ll do in a pinch. But don’t expect them to last forever. They ain’t pretty, that’s for doggone sure.
So there you have it, the four types of bricks, as best as I can remember. First class, second class, third class, and fourth class. They all got their uses, but some are better than others, that’s for sure. Just gotta pick the right brick for the job, that’s all.
And listen, they come in all sorts of colors and feels too, you know? Some are smooth, some are rough. Some are red, some are brown, some are even kinda yellow-y. It all depends on how they make ’em, I guess.
They make bricks by mixing up a bunch of dirt and stuff, then they squish it into them brick shapes and bake ’em in a big ol’ oven. That’s what my grandson told me, anyways. He’s a smart fella, always reading them books.
And there are some other special bricks too. Like them concrete blocks, they’re big and heavy. And fire bricks, they use them in fireplaces and stuff, I think, ‘cause they can stand the heat. And air bricks, they got holes in them, for letting the air through, I guess. So yeah, lots of different kinds of bricks out there.
Now, I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I’ve seen my fair share of bricks in my day. And that’s what I know about them.
