Twine
So at Home Depot yesterday…I went with my dad to buy lumber for the deck, and rebar for the concrete path we need to pour. Now, y’all know that lumber places always have twine available for tying down things, right? Good…so, I go to get some twine, cut a piece off, and proceed to walk toward the car, coiling up the piece I’ve cut as I walk along. Now…about halfway to the car I realize that I’ve just coiled up a lot more twine in my hand than I just cut off. So I look back…and I’m trailing twine all the way back to the box. Kind of embarassing….I’d trailed about 20-plus feet of twine behind me. Anyway, I walked back and found the end for the piece I’d cut and then walked back to car…after making sure it was actually free.

Me: Verbal inspection? So like “Hi, Mr. Fan Belt, how are you? I’m fine, thanks…”
