    I fell for this one:

    When a rookie draftsman/office gopher, I was sent to the Massachusetts Plumbing Board to pick up a set of approved plans for a public project...

    Before I left (Jackchips take note), Roger ,one of my bosses, told me to pick up a public awareneness poster to go along with his "Guardians of the Nations Health Poster".

    Being dutiful, I went to the board and proudly asked for the "Smiling Turd Poster"....

    Things have improved a bit since then.....

    And the

    "turds" are still smiling around the tunnel.

    I've been looking for the left-handed hammer for 38 years.

    A guy invented a left-handed hammer. Didn't Sell. No left-handed nails.

    just wondering.....

    As long as we're on the topic of odd fitting names, anyone know where the term "Boozie" comes from? Barfly jokes aside, I thought the guy was joking until one of our counter guys hit me on the head with one......

    Hey Now!

    That sounds very plausable! Best explanation I've heard so far. If it's good enough for you and your Pop, I'm going with it too.

    Thanks,

    Jim
