Cruel Joke by Home Improvement Company
William Penrose
Just try controlling the damn stuff. I started two hours ago with a
little can of DAP, and now it's all over me, and the shower glass, and
the floor and the walls. The only solution now is to actually fill the
bathroom with caulk and wall it up.
Get the stuff in the old-fashioned tube where you can control it like
toothpaste.

My only home "improvement": I rearrange the cobwebs once a year. A
dwelling will end up owning you if you're not careful.

Goo-Gone is your friend, Luv. And cheer up, it could have been so
much worse. Suppose you had bought the stuff in the old-fashioned
tube and, in the process of groping around in the dark for your
toothbrush, you accidentally grabbed the wrong container? Your
teeth would now be permanently caulked shut and you would have to
be fed intravenously, so never again could you enjoy your
favorite sausage pizza, beer, guacamole, or scrapple.
You need to think about these things before complaining.

Well, answer me this question: why'd you caulk your bathtub, anyway?
And the reason that I ask is that my Reader's Digest New Complete
Do-It-Yourself Manual says that we all should caulk our bathtub on an
annual basis, as a strictly preventative maintenance type thing. Our
sinks, too. And I've never known one person, one individual, to up
and decide to caulk a perfectly good bathtub.
Unless you're the first. DO YOU caulk your bathtub every year,
whether it needs it or not, or was there a problem (leak?) that caused
you to reach for the caulk?

I don't do it every year, but it's a good idea. Caulk pulls away a
tiny bit at a time. If it does it at a critical spot you may not
notice for ages. Not until yer looking at yer ceiling downstairs and
wondering what that dark area is.

Exactly! We didn't bother paying any attention to it in our downstairs
bathroom for quite some time. Until, that is, the entire wall needed
replacing, right to the outside of the house. Of course, being that the
house was built by a nonstandard builder, they hadn't bothered to install
the ceramic tiles properly. Once the caulk was broken off in several
places, water got into the wall and quick as you can say, wood rot, it did.
Nasty mess for us to fix.

Listen to PJ, she knows whereof she speaks. As one who used her dad's
Brylcreem (sp?) on her toothbrush in the semi-dark, it's quite an
unsettling experience. But my teeth were really shiny at school that
day.

And we can all use more goo...

I like that. Think it'd make a damned fine sig line, in fact.

Eeeewwww! That's even worse than the time I accidentally squeezed
facial foam onto my toothbrush instead of Crest. My incisors
foamed for a week.

That, my friend, is easier than painting one's house with deck paint. I have a
large deck, didn't want to use a brush, so I bought a paint sprayer.
The good news is, the deck is 'deck red.' The bad news is, the windows
overlooking the deck allow us to see the world through rose colored glasses.
We see our cat that way, too, and a couple of used-to-be grey squirrels, part
of my wardrobe.
You'd also be surprised at how far a gentle breeze can carry paint mist, and
how vividly it shows up on white cars. Especially neighbor's white cars.

You really meant, 'groping around in the dark for your Preparation H',
didn't you? Because that was the unwanted image that barged into my
brain when I read that.
Thanks for the Goo-Gone tip. We have a bottle, but I always forget the
fact when I actually need it.

The latest bogeyman, the *radon* of the Third Millennium, BLACK MOLD.
Apparently it will grow fangs and bite you in sensitive places if not
nipped in the sporogonium.
One or two little spots and everyone around here was in a wild panic,
after a typically scary black-mold story on television.

You've just given a whole new meaning to the name "tight ass."
