    I was waiting for the flesh to fly

    Sitting in my bosses office yesterday, trying to ignore the construction noises as they build the clinic next to our department, I looked out the window.

    There was a workman who apparently needed a half-lap on a 2x4. He had set the fence to half the depth and was standing this 8' 2x4 on end and running it through the saw. I wouldn't have believed anyone would do that, I stand corrected.

    There was an argument on this forum a few years ago along this line - with some well known folks here. IIRC, it worked out well.

      Jobsites can be very entertaining. That's not as much fun to watch as free cutting sheet goods on the TS.

          I like the quote on that site by George Carlin: "Just think how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of them are even stupider!"
