Home improvement tips

So the other day Clay was in the process of building me some beautiful shelves to solve the never-ending problem of storage in the kitchen. And as he went along, planning the project, he realized that he was going to need a palm sander, which is (in case this is not obvious) one of those little plug-in sanders that fits in the palm of your hand.

He called Home Depot to see if they rented palm sanders, and when he got the guy in charge of such rental business, he could not think of the word PALM SANDER.

"I'm calling to see if you have those..." he held his hand out in front of him, in frustration, as though if he mimed holding it, the name of it would come to him, "...those hand jobs?"

In case you're wondering, no. That is not a service Home Depot provides.

The laughing at you, however? Totally free.

Oh, Clay. I mean, dude, I know you lost part of a finger and all, but surely you can still manage...? ;)

OK, that's quite possibly the funniest thing that I've read all week! I'm sure the guy on the other end of the phone was going, "WHAAAAT?!?"

Now THAT was what I needed. A huge laugh. At someone else's expense. (Sorry, Clay, but...you earned that one.)

I have had the most stressful weeks and now I think quite possibly my department thinks I have cracked. And I can't cop to what was so funny. But the laugh was totally worth it!

Ow...ow...oww.... Laughing still hurts. Looking forward to being able to bellow without pain, at which time i will read this again and really do it justice.
