joint compound

I haven't heard it called that until now. I wonder how long before code phrases like this will fade away in Colorado and Washington State. ;-)

It's a good thing this was a good ol'-fashioned incandescent bulb (as prescribed by Scripture, in Jeeziz' name aymen) instead of a gawdless commynist p'litically correct eco-whacko bulb the guvvermint's making us all buy now. You know if one of those breaks, you hafta call in a hazmat team and yer house gets declared a Superfund site.

Hope your hand heals up quickly.

I'm sorry I gave the impression of injuring my hand - that was a complete hypothetical! The sort of accident I often have.

I did break that bulb, though, and LOL-ed at your riff on the new commie varieties. Haven't broken one of them yet, but give me time.

I love the term joint compound. It's wonderfully vague if you don't know what it means.

Yeah. I broke my foot when I fell down walking across a completely flat parking lot, bereft of any obstacle...so naturally I had to lie about how I'd done it the whole six weeks I had the cast on.

I would think the pain and trouble earned you the right to embellish. I'm sure it was a good story. :)
