    I hope we can get back to thinking about some of the more important issues in our lives. I have several right now that need to be addressed and would appreciate any input you can offer.
    Issue #1
    My wood stove has a side loading door on the left side of the stove. This means that when reloading or adjusting wood in the stove I use my left hand to do so. Over the years I have managed to wear out several left hand welding gloves due to high heat and burns thru the fingers. This leaves me with several untouched right hand welding gloves that have never seen a hand in them. Whats a guy to do with 4 right hand welding gloves that are brand new????
    Issue#2
    Because of the type of work I do I go thru jeans, Tee-shirts and socks something terrible. Since I dont have a lot of money and really hate going shopping for cloths this means that often times I wear my cloths to the point of possibly getting an indecently exposed charge. I like to re-purpose my worn out cloths as grease/oil rags out in the shop. But since I live in the country and my shop area is in a pole shed, mice can have access to my rag bag and make a home in the colder months. Whatta I gotta do? Invest in mil surplus 50 cal. ammo cans to keep my dammed rags in?
    And last but by far the least issue!
    Issue #3
    When I am at the speedy check out at the grocery store and there is a big sign that clearly says "12 Items or less" and the patron of said store has a months worth of crap and the teller waits on them any ways and says nothing while I stand there with my 1 or 2 items do I,
    1: Punch the offending patron in the back of the head till their shadow needs an ambulance?
    2: Grab the teller by his nose ring and drag him across the counter and then punch him in the back of the head till his shadow needs an ambulance?
    Or should I...
    Just go home and wonder what to do with 4 brand new right hand welding gloves and call it a day?
    Your input is greatly appreciated.

    Grab the mouse with your right hand with a glove on and put the mouse down the shirt of the guy in front of you at the grocery store.

    #1- rotate stove 180 degrees.
    #2- duct tape is your friend
    #3- grab store PA- call for price check on 10 pack of micro condoms, or extra strength yeast dissolver douche, depending on gender of the offender.
    :yes:

    If you invested in a detachable left thumb you could switch it from right side of your left hand and install it on the left side of your left hand...thereby allowing you to wear your right glove on your left hand.

    Just a thought....not a rational thought...but a thought none the less.

    Right where I want to be.
    In a few years our DNA might be made adjustable to do such a thing without having to detach and reinstall.
    You'd probably have to carry around a remote control or something.
    The mind reels at all the possibilities.

    I know what you can do with 2 of the right handed gloves...

    Leave the gloves at the seen...And you have a perfect defense...

    Find a guy who has a stove that loads and the right side. Trade him all your unused right handed gloves for all his unused left handed gloves. That's yankee ingenuity right that, ayuh!
