Well, how about MY mother. I brought home some printing plates that I
found
in the trash, and I inked them up and ran them through the wringer on our
washing machine. Mom didn't object. Or when I used her sewing machine to
perforate paper.

That's a good mom. Do you suppose they still make them like that?
