    Default Why you shouldn't wear thongs (flip flops) in the Workshop

    Dear Stinky,

    Ouch!...

    But why - pray tell - is there more blood on the unbroken thong than on the broken one?

    Get Well Soon!

    Death of a thong. But I think it may have been weakened by actual walking in the sun.

    Question

    OK, I'm going to need this one explained (just like the weird "Can you do this on your bike" one).

    Either:
    a) the entire person is missing (taken by a trained orca???)
    or
    b) the flag on the broken thong is reversed.

    Neither rings the gore gong IMHO.

    Puzzled,
    Andrew

    Too true (you must have gone through this previously Tea Lady .... you can see the signs) ...... I had noticed earlier in the day the discolouration around the top and knew the end was near ...... and then it happened. At least it was quick and I am sure righty did not see it coming. I just pity old left who saw the entire event unfold ..... now forever without this right foot thong ..... he will be unreplaceable.

    I have retired both to the side deck where they used to spend their days basking in the sun ...... little did I know at the time that this would ultimately cut short the promising life of old righty. Bin night is not again until Friday ....... I think I will let them rest until then ..... or perhaps I can turn them into sanding pads for the garage .

    I think this problem has been explained earlier - Andy (skew) has already overcome the inconvenience of this accident.

    BTW mine get a hole in the heel before the toe thingy breaks

    Cheers
