    It's what we don't say. It's trying not to holler "Score!" when someone gives/sells us something we know we're going to make good coin on.

    This is a funny thread from years ago... thought I'd add a few lines to it.

    1) Wife asks "Was that #1 or #2?" I reply, "Do you mean the wire or the trip to the bathroom?"
    2) Me talking to wife when she asks what I've been doing: "I bought a stripper. I decided to do this after watching a video on the internet."
    3) When a friend asks me what I've do so far this summer- "I've been sailing a bunch of times. I meant garage saleing!"

    I just finished reading through all of these. They are all pretty humorous and more true than some people realize. Two of the things I always say are:
    1: *looking around for a tool I just set on my bench 30 seconds ago.* Now just where did that go?
    2: Dang it! Where'd that screw go?

    Things you'd hear a scrapper's wife say:

    Her: "What did you do to your elbow?"

    Me: "What?"

    Her: "You're bleeding all over the place!"

    Me: *Looks at elbow... sees a little dried blood smear.* "I don't know. I ain't got time to bleed..."



    This conversation literally just took place at my house.
    Out of clutter, find simplicity. --Albert Einstein

    Wife: "What in the world is that?"
    Me: "Well you know the price was right!"
    Wife: "Where are we going to put it?"
    Me: "I'll find a place."
