The Quote

Quote from Tim in What You See is What You Get

Tim: A lot of us have tables like this around the house. A little beat-up, nicks, scratches, stains all over it.
Al: That's right. So what you wanna do is sand it down... with a normal-size sander. Refinish it, you'll have yourself a brand-new table.
Tim: I can't do this to this table.
Al: It's all right, Tim. I'll do it.
Tim: No. I am surprised and shocked that you're so superficial.
Al: What are you talking...? You're superficial!
Tim: Maybe on the surface. Tool Time isn't just about home improvement. It's also about male improvement. You see, man, by nature, is just a naked ape, chain-smoking salmon. Now, our instincts would be to make this table new, make it look new with plastic filler in all the nicks. What we should do is learn to appreciate the natural beauty inherent in this wood, and over the years, it's become nothing but deeper, richer and warmer. And more interesting.
Al: What are you saying, Tim?
Tim: I'm saying this table is perfect the way it is.
Al: So our project today is to stand here and stare at this table.
Tim: No. We could pour oil on it, rub it affectionately and show the table how we love it. Rub with me, Al.
