An Odd One

A guy at work has been bugging me to let him come over and pound a knife out of a 52100 ball bearing he had laying around. He comes over and shows me his pattern. I break out into what Pat McMnanus calls the stationary panic. I start running in place pumping my arms. I did'nt want to tell him that I had no idea how to forge that knife. Well, it took a while to think our way through it, but we came very close to his pattern. And I learned a little something along the way.

Bob, that looks like it was a bear to forge. Glad to see someone else is a Patrick McManus fan. I think he is one of the best humor writers on earth. He reminds me of my childhood escapades oh so well.
 
McManus is the only writer that can make me laugh out loud. Even re-reading him and knowing what is coming still cracks me up.
