Mrs. File notified me that i had apparently leaned against something painted flourecent pink and had 6 streaks 1/2" wide X 6' long down the back of the vest she bought me for my birthday last fall.
i then "got the feeling" and reached behind my right ear and pulled a tick out of my hair.....
Looks like me and the dog are on the couch tonight.... 😉
Dang....what did the dog do wrong?
That has to be the longest vest I've ever heard of.:-D
And stop talking about those little critters. You do realize, don't you, just how many readers are doublechecking themselves right now. The lucky ones are calling in special help.
Sounds like when I ruined my last good pair of jeans. I had just marked a guardrail with the same color you got into. My partner asked me to hand the rod to him [over the rail] and I leaned all over in the paint I had just put down. Of course not being a tall feller myself, that was all over the front side on my "special place". Besides that nasty paint stain, they are now my best around-the-house painting pants.
I wouldn't dare wear them in public lest I suffer the ridicule from friends and odd looks from strangers.
At least I won't get ticks from painting in doors! 🙂
What the hell kind of vest is 6' long? We called those dusters and I'm quite happy that redneck fashion came and went in the early 90's, at least in Texas. Montana may be a bit different and a bit behind the redneck times. 🙂
ok-ok-ok inches! INCHES!!!! 6 Friggin' INCHES long!!!!!:-P
and I was able to redeem myself by digging a sliver out of the bottom of Mrs. File's foot... so I got to sleep in the big bed after all....
When I was a rodman doing some DTM work back home, my party chief had a habit of going before me and spot painting the shots he wanted on culverts, curbs&gutters, etc. Trying to get an invert on a manhole, wouldn't you know I laid down to place the levelling rod down to the bottom, and came up with a perfect circle of white paint all over my crotch.
I wasn't married yet and NW Florida isn't tick crazy in June so no sleeping situations came into question, but the odd looks at lunch time were enough for me to retire those pants.

For all of you non-carpenters, non-architects, (and those not in the oldest profession) out there that's the equivalent of 0.5 feet. 😉
..and for we metric boffins 6" is 152 millimetres..

BigE would have thought you would have been extremely proud to publicly wear your unique one and only designer pair of jeans.
