    Man Swallows Block Plane

    Disassociated Press
    Shreveport, Louisiana

    Doctors in a local emergency room treated a woodworker for severe gastric distress here yesterday after he managed to swallow a block plane. The embarrassed man was reluctant to tell doctors what had happened when he first arrived at the emergency room, so they were shocked when the Xrays showed a large chunk of iron in his stomach.
    "We immediately operated to remove the obstruction," said Dr. Blackenedfish of Shreveport General Hospital, "and were surprised to find a hand plane. The surgeon in attendance is himself a woodworker, and noticing that the plane was very sharp, he gave it a try on the surgery room's door moldings. In the recovery room, the surgeon complimented the man on his sharpening abilities and asked if he could get sharpening lessons from him."
    The man later admitted that he had reached for a donut on his workbench but accidently grabbed the plane.


    I guess thats one way of shaving of a few pounds

    It doesn't surprise me that a Septic could swallow a block plane (or a jointer for that matter), but it must have been some delectable donut if he couldn't tell the difference between it and a plane.
    .
    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Regards, Woodwould.

    That's rediculous!

    Block planes taste nothing like doughnuts.

    maybe with some extra cinnamon....

    Seems to be a permanent institution. Fake news, as in the un-linked link, serves as a calibrator for our BS detectors. Sad to say, many of them are broken, and in need of repair.

    Cheers,

    That has to be the biggest quantity of senior shoe makers I have ever heard.

    There are so many things that are wrong or not possible.
