A book I’m reading talks about someone’s father being a steam locomotive engineer. After work, ol’ Dad always took a shower and changed clothes before heading home to his white pickets fence. The author wrote that the only clue of his occupation was his white fingernails. White finger nails? Did steam engineers have white fingernails?
Perhaps that was the only part of his hands that wasn’t permanently grimy from coal dust, grease, soot etc. Just a guess…
They wore gloves.
And my Dad wore glasses, so he always had white rings around his eyes.
White gloves? [:o)]
…sure beats those of us trained killers* on the R/W with muddy black thumbs.
*weeds, trees, bushes (if it’s green and it grows, it’s gonna go.)
Herbicidal maniacs? After the legalization of “weed” in the Centennial state, no less.
I resemble that remark… Except, it’s hell on the lawn and vegetable garden at home.[:$]
People here are just now realizing they didn’t really think that one through very well. In their hurry to get stupid, they became a threat to themselves and their neighbors.
