Was watching an old "What is it" segment of "Ask this old house" the

Nah, I wouldn't say it was contributing, just _exposing_ all the
maroons out there. (Bugs Bunny slang for "morons")



Next big war we won't have to recruit Navajo code talkers: we can take

Actually, when you're using your sander, the velcro faces up, so it
should
be "this side up".
but but but... when I put new paper on, the sander is upside down (he

There is always a down-side to marking things 'up-side'. The up-side
is that when marked 'up-side', the downside is that the down-side
isn't marked 'downside' in most cases. That holds true no matter which
side you're on.

Hmm - this sounds akin to the blonde who used a marker to write "TGIF"
inside all her shoes...

Not sure what a cleaver has to do with woodworking. Oh! It's about a
chopping block.
