Tuff Stuff

I'd got out the hammer, the hatchet and pliers
To attack the package of plastic and wires.
     But the fix was so tricky,
     The stickum so sticky,
I'd not even scratched it when I set it on fire!

I'm sure your great sense of humor was an asset on both (or one) jobs. My English teacher got upset when I pointed out a slight problem with her subjunctive. It was not a good year! Liz

Sounds like something I'd do. lol. Born with a 'knack' for screwing up simple jobs (as well as complex ones). True confession time: I was an English Teacher. Then I upgraded and became a Used Car Salesman. (Only the first part is true). Here's to 10 thumbs to get the job done! Smiles, gw

That's one way to solve the problem. I sometime find the small print that reads "open other end" after waging the opening battle
