Ever ask yourself "Why, did I keep this ?"
This can is not good enough to keep, let alone display with others. So WHY do I keep it ?

I found it in the trash many years ago.
I threw it in the truck.
I threw it on the bench.
I threw it in the shed.
So WHY can't I throw it away !

Probably because you know, that I'll dig it out of the trash, then send it BACK to you, so you can fix it, for me, so that I can sell it to Veedol!!! LOL.

I think I see the problem here.

"I threw it in the truck.
I threw it on the bench.
I threw it in the shed."

When you originally found it in the trash it was in much better condition ! LOL

"WHY, DID I KEEP THIS?"
So much for there being no such thing as a "stupid question".
Insert a row of smiley faces here.



Edited for poor spelling..... thanks oldnfuelish

You should have said, "I threw it under the truck." =:>0 Truth be known, Dick ran over this while attempting to con a farmer along Highway 126 into giving up two gas pumps for a pair of jumper cables Dick had. The jumper cable belonged to Ga Pump Rob. Dave Folck
