Ironically, both. But his magic was a bit rusty.

:) You are from Melville NY. Named after the famed writer, perhaps? If so, have you read his "Bartleby, the Scrivener"?

This fascinating story has never been completely scholarly examined, in my humble opinion. I find it a study in what is now called Asperger's Syndrome, a highly functioning form of autism. There was a 1970 British movie made of BTS as well that was quite good and followed Melville's story pretty well.

Hoping you find my comments interesting, though.:) Have a wonderful day. I shall.:)

magnet anyone?

I'll bet that he was a riot in an electrical storm.

What? No Ford Explorer?

I think someone hit the nail on the head with Pica.

This dude was getting nailed for his eating habits.

So many puns..so little time. I hear he was quite attached to his fasteners...

airport security would have a heyday with this....

Neither. His battery powered nail gun broke down. So he thought I'll eat the nails and then crap on the wood and the nails will go in. All I have to do then is to hose off the crap of the wood. Bingo.
A new way of doing carpentry work.

Could they please re-open him? I'm missing a chainsaw.

So this was not a union job. Or maybe it was.

He has a magnetic personality. These other posts are worthy of late night TV on-liners.:)
