I called my friend to complain about the straight edge that I bought to build my picnic bench.
The clamps get in the way, I complained.
"Ummm...... Richard ----- which side of your saw are you putting on the straight edge?"
"well left, of course..........."
"Dude ---- try the right side........."
Well ---- ummmm ----- okay ---- thanks.
Sometimes academics think way too much to have tools in their hands.
Turns out -the right side is much safer, too ---- I'm not leaning over the saw.
Of course, I could have read the instructions, too ------ they're clearly printed in ChEnglish on the back of the package.
