The Quote

Quote from Tim in The Write Stuff

Al: Well, I'm using a reciprocating saw on these two-by-fours, but it doesn't seem to be working too well.
Tim: I think the reason for that, Al, is because these boards are hard and brittle, and maybe some knots in them. That's why I'm going to use a 30 pound sledge.
Al: Actually, a 20 ounce hammer would do the same thing.
Tim: Where would the fun be in that? And I got kinda of a clever idea. In order to get a good, solid grip on this, I put some of that sticky stuff on my gloves. Same stuff the NFL players use to grab onto the ball. Got it from my buddies at the Lions. Thanks, guys.
Al: Well, that "sticky stuff" is against NFL rules.
Tim: [snickering] I mean, I got it from the Chicago Bears.
[As Tim swings the sledge hammer back and forth, it shoots out of his hands and smashes into the wall across the room by Al and Heidi, with Tim's gloves still stuck to it.]
Tim: Sorry. Hey. I know what I'll do next time. I'll put the sticky stuff on my hands, put the gloves on top, then put another coat. That way I'll get a firm grip. Always think safety. I'll do it right now.
Al: Well, speaking of safety, it's always a good idea to keep a safe environment by clean up as you go along.
Heidi: Tim, this is really heavy.
Tim: Come on, let me see it. Oh, wait, get your hands off of there. All right look at this. Use your own momentum, Heidi. Watch this. Swing it back, and right out the window. Look at this.
[As Tim swings the bucket out of the window, he goes flying along with it, down the trash chute]
