I was working in my shop yesterday, and all I could think about was my 25th.
anniversity, and how happy my wife and I were to be going out that evening
to eat at Red Lobster. Well, I happened to look in my machinest cabinet, and
I noticed that someone had stolen three of my helicoil sets (1/4-20, 5/16-18
and 3/8-16). They were the only things in my life that really meant anything
to me. My wife took it so hard she can't stop crying. Our plans on going out
are shattered. As a precaution I have hid all the razor blades and
prescription pills. I hope someday our marriage will recover from this
terrible event.

Sounds like a shot at Grant Erwin

Hey!
There was a guy here that said he "bought" some of these for $5.00. He
probably got them after midnight in an alley from a guy named Bubba who
runs Lucky's Tool Discount.
LOL

Advertise her for five bucks on Craigslist. If you're lucky, she'll sell quickly
and then you can go take the money and have your lobster dinner. Problem solved!

Didja hear about the dirty trick played on CraigsList? Someone
advertised free stuff in their backyard, just go in and take it. The
thing was, it wasn't the poster's address, but someone he wanted to burn.
The homeowner finally noticed stuff disappearing: lawnmower, barbecue,
patio furniture, etc and called 911.
Craig hisself launched an investigation into it with a reward for info
on the perp.

Never mind, something good will happen - it always does.
For example - I was on my way to getting married, when I spotted at the
side of the road a nice old piece of machinery. With care, I managed to
get it in the station wagon without getting too dirty.
It really made my day!

I remember reading in the paper about someone who had a beef the owner
of a Christmas tree lot.

Late one night, the lock/chain securing the lot was cut, gate opened,
and a nice big sign erected reading 'Free Christmas Trees Take one,
Merry Christmas! or some such...
