thinking, 'Nah, I better find the right stuff". And eventually
did.

Now, I'm looking for the turp, can't find it, can't recall what I
was doing in the above scenario to know where to look for it
(besides my whole house that I've gone over twice).

I'm sure it will pop up - after I've bought another can.

I know where your can of turp is! And why is it sitting on the
tank
of our toilet in the half bath? It's been there for about 2 years.
Maybe I'll just ask the wife.


If you 'd be so kind as to share the location as soon as she tells
you, I'd surely appreciate it.

Location of what? The turp? It's on the toilet tank in the
half bath. But why? Why is the turp sitting on the toilet tank? *that*
is *your* turp, isn't it?

I am the "go to" guy at work when it comes to computer repair.
A lady brought in her computer that needed XP installed on it. It worked
when it left my house. A couple weeks later when she finally had time to
hook it all up, it didn't work.
She complains to a co-worker, "I don't think Fud Pucker knows what
he is doing!" The co-worker tells me about it. She later comes to me and
tells me, "Fud, it's not working. There is an error on my screen about
no signal, and the screws on the back won't let me put the plug in,
blah, blah, blah..."
"Well, it sounds like you are trying to plug the monitor cable in
upside down!"
She replies with, "Hey, I'm not stupid. Remember me telling you
several weeks ago in the break room about me taking computer classes in
school? I have my CNA certification. Anyhow, name of co-worker is
coming over tonight to look at it!"
I looked her straight in the eye and said, "Well, he knows a whole
lot more about computers than I do. He's good"
I went out to the co-worker and told him it sounds like she is
trying to plug the monitor cable in upside down, told him what to look for.
I was at home eating supper later that night and the phone rings.
It was the co-worker laughing and telling me I was right...it was the
cable upside down.
Yes, she is blond.
