Engineer's Thumb

posted by [personal profile] bugshaw at 01:50pm on 25/04/2007
Simon has it; I don't. When my computer fan makes a noise, he can tap it and it goes quiet again. When I tap, it gets noisier. Grrr! This is so infuriating and there's no logical reason behind it!

I recommend a prosthetic engineer's thumb, or a hammer as it is more commonly known. Mechanical devices respect hammers.

True, but hammers don't respect mechanical devices.

Yes, but remember what Conan Doyle said HAPPENED to the Engineer's Thumb...

"That's better!" said he. "And now, Doctor, perhaps you would kindly attend to my thumb, or rather to the place where my thumb used to be."

He unwound the handkerchief and held out his hand. It gave even my hardened nerves a shudder to look at it.....
