is this a rhetorical question?  quite a few of us are from cornfield u.s.a.,
and we're not "builders" , we're preservation oriented
construction and design professionals thank you very much,,,,
and as far as what we find funny, you are either being very diplomatic
or are a master of understatement    ;)

like what? oh wait a minute, see "tips", below....

bamboo, snow bricks ....  uhh,, where's here??  (or have I missed something
on the list lately? it's probable -- whole weeks from the last 3 months have
turned
up absent in my brain  ;)   )

"tips"   ahhh, nicely twisted!
ken, did you let her in here?
a women's construction joke!!    ;)

nadine, better watch out -- nailing studs around high school kids can be,
well, _misunderstood_, if not outright dangerous     ;)
