Reminds me of a story.
I had a friend who would do anything for certain women. ( A common malady
among young men) She got him into the dog bed biz. He made the frames and
then stuffed big pillows full of cedar shavings. He acquired a big pile of
cedar posts to make the shavings. But he got most of his shavings from a
company that just gave it to him to haul away,
They got in a big order and their source of shavings suddenly dried up.
Everything was ready to go, but no shavings. He had just the weekend to
produce copious quatities of shavings. He didn't have a planer, but had an
old iron, 6 inch jointer.
Soooo..., he fired up the jointer and made shavings for an entire weekend.
They got all their dog pillows stuffed. And he went out of business the
next week.
I guess he decided this girlfriend was too high maintenence.
and a shortage on the Dollar a shortage on the DOW and about 4000 less
Americans lost in Bush's Iraq war!
