 CH> but The Kingdom, for ifin ya' get so close 
 CH> that yer nose is touchin the gate and don't get through 
 CH> the gate, close won't help ya' one little bit, now will it?
 WE> I'm reminded of a legend about Cupid wherein close enuf is almost good
 WE> enuf. Once upon a time, Pan wanted to know why Cupid didn't have a
 WE> tail.  Cupid explained.  Coming upon them lavish over budget pearly
 WE> gates, he shot Peter the Gatekeeper with an arrow.  Peter, of course,
 WE> immediately fell in love with Cupid and eager to indulge with cute
 WE> cherubic Cupid led him thru them extravagant gates.  Now the Archangel
 WE> Gabriel saw what was about to transpire and rushed to slam them gates
 WE> shut.  Slam bang!  Ouch!  Them gates caught Cupid by the tail,
 WE> severing it off.  This he explained to Pan, was how he lost his tail
 WE> when he went to heaven where a mean archangel prevented him from
 WE> having a gay time by giving him a sore butt. 
 HeeHee...P U N N E E E E E !  :)
 WE> They would cut a two by four or six shorter by a 1/16 inch which would
 WE> just be sawdust but a deeper cut could make a 1/8 inch thick (length
 WE> of 1/8 inch) piece of a two by four. 
 
 CH> HeeHee, that ain't "lumber" my friend, that is waste, fire wood,
 CH> end pieces called scrap, remnants, etc., etc.!  :)  And if you
 CH> think that it is useful, just try driving a nail in it and see
 CH> what hoppens!  :)
 
 WE> I see you're getting scrappy about this. -)  As a kid I liked
 WE> collecting them.  I it weren't for the likes of you that teach
 WE> carpenters to be perfect I could get more and glue them into
 WE> interesting wood sculptures. 
 
 Us Foremans can get crappy at times!  And as a fisherman I have
 caught plenty of crappy in my time too!  You'se is pretty smart
 after all, cause I was going to say that that was about the only
 thing those scraps were good for other than keeping warm by, but
 I decided to wait and see ifin you wuz smart enough to come up
 with that alternative and I did truly think of it when I was
 writing that message, cause I was in the arts and crafts business
 for years!  And I am sure that you have seen the neat things that
 we have made out of nuts and bolts and other metal objects, right?
Just another humble servant of The Kingdom.......clarence.......
