scream-of-consciousness;
"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
Again, I'm obliged to sanitize an unnecessarily sordid issue.
Once upon a time, Americans lived in real houses with cellars. Back then toilet plungers had handles 3 or 4 feet long. You could whomp on them like chopping an ice fishing hole, get the job done, and then toss it downstairs.
Now most of us live in homes built (literally or figuratively) on the sand. With no cellar, the plunger has to be stored in a sink cabinet. To fit, they need short, feckless handles. So those clever Chinese simply repurposed their plastic mold technology to produce compact handles with more singled-handed grip.
Of course I'm speaking hypothetically: We don't own a plunger of any type, because 1) we eat yogurt by the gallon and 2) we have high-quality Mexican labor that attends to home maintenance.
Yes, Mexican labor...Walking around El Paso, Texas, looking at the xeriscapes and watching a garbage truck doing it's rounds...They have a six men crew...And they pick up the garbage containers IN THE BACK OF THE HOUSES...No wonder they want to keep the border open!
Reminds me of an old question about why did God choose to please a recreation area right next to a refuse dump...
ReplyDeleteUh, that should be 'place'...
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me of good'ol buck.

Looks like a guy who also bought the smaller model … for himself.

ReplyDeleteWhy is this puzzling to you guys?
ReplyDeleteThis is a tool to loosen stool from areas in which it might be impacted. Like a combo wrench, it has two tool ends.
