Slatten,feeling his oats at a construction site was bragging that he could out do anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen,badbobby. After several minutes,badbobby had had enough.
'Why don't you put your money where your mouth is,' bb said.
'I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that building that you won't be able to wheel back.
'You're on, old man,' Slat replied. Let's see you do it.'
bb reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles.
Then, nodding to Slat, he said,
'All right, dumbass, get in.'
'once a Marine
always a Marine'

I would win that bet, BB, as I could "wheel" it back without having to be in it.
You lose...again. This time, though, no IOUs from you.

Au, contraire, mon frere. The wheelbarrow is 'wheeled' wherever it goes...empty or not.
"Adapt, improvise...overcome."
Pay me.

I will leave it up to bahm Canuck and Peeweeand anyone else who has an opinion
the deal was
I could wheel you with you in the wheelbarrow
you could not possibly wheel the barrow with yourself in it
I rest my case

You just made my case: As I stated, one can "wheel" a wheelbarrow without being in it.
