After a week of reading about some columnist blasting some corrupt politician, who is about as corrupt as the columnist, Dave Barry is a welcome relief.
Perhaps a we could have it as a weekly event, or is it already?
Anyway ... thanks and bumps.

Barry interesting.
I guess I'm up first. Love Dave Berry. And todays tip is true
Based on my personal experience, every time an unskilled amateur does something for the first time, it ends up looking (and functioning) like something that an unskilled amateur has done for the first time.
Ok, so how is it pronounced? I thought it was "fung sway".
Bob Villa can't pound a nail without bending it.
"Ok, so how is it pronounced?"
fung shway (though I've heard people say fung shwee)

Hey, you've seen my work!
"Ok, so how is it pronounced?"
Bee ess.
While some of these items are questionable, you should never let a barrister on your deck.
Beat me by five minutes, I guess I should typing with the boxing gloves on.
I'm assuming that mine is identical to yours. If so then, yes, I've seen it.
The really bad thing is that my wife is addicted to these home improvement shows, and assumes that I'm just as skilled as the pros who show us just how easy it is to lay a basement floor, build a deck or install a driveway. Of course she isn't about to do any of these things, so in order to keep her notion of my manhood intact I've got to make at least an effort, which usually ends up looking like something the Three Stooges did and costing twice as much as if we'd hired a pro to do the job.
LOL
"you should never let a barrister on your deck."
Not unless you're planning on suing someone for the injuries you sustained in attempting to build the deck.
LOL!
A buddy of mine at work once told me his wife does Feng Shui consulting. He said it's directed at driving the bad energy out of a room. I told him that when I feel bad energy in a room, I put a loaded .357 within easy reach. He didn't appreciate that comment too much, for some odd reason.

Although it's highly recommended to bury one UNDER your deck.
