Can you drive by my house this evening on your way to work?

Sure, I'll drive by. Do you want me to stop and pick you up when I'm driving by?

Of course I do. You're a real piece of work, aren't you?

My boss can't operate the photocopier without the assistance of half the admin staff. He's a real piece of work!

dad: how could you end up with a $10,000 credit card bill?
me: let me think, I go to strip clubs every night...
dad: (shaking his head) you're a real piece of work.

Everybody was hoping and praying for rain for the crops. Somebody got out some drums and started drumming. Other people gathered round and started stomping their feet while they walked around in a circle in front of the drummer. They raised their voices and raised their arms, flailing them in the air. They had headdress on that was a band around the head that soaked up the sweat of their brow, and feathers in the headdress that were very pretty that came from very special birds. (They just fell out. They didn't kill them.) Suddenly, a great cloud came across in the sky. The sky darkened, and rain came pouring down. Everybody fell to the ground, laughing. This happens every year! The rain keeps on falling, and you think that the flooding is never going to end, but it does. We can all laugh about it. Our concept that we caused the rain to fall ourselves is a piece of work.

1) Wooo, look at her. She's a piece of work.

2) Look at that guy. He's a piece of work isn't he?

He sure is a piece of work.

That guy is a piece of work.
