Home Handymen Fixing Faulty Part Themselves

In a survey of the comments and returned sets, service manager Scott Hecker of Boxer Shelving concluded that the connector of the two upright posts is still coming out wrong from the plant. In 2015 so far, 941 units were sold but only one returned.
The parts are just supposed to tap in with a hammer or mallet. The connector is too tight. The handymen apparently all discovered that you can expand the crack enough with a flat headed screw driver hammer and a wood block for support.

The joint then can be tapped into place and the second support rod connected for the top half of the shelf. "I've contacted the plant three times," says Scott, "but nothing changes."

Idaho County Puts Up Third Stop Sign

Twin Falls County, ID – Twin Falls had a traffic study done of the entire county. The result was a recommendation for a third stop sign.

Area Libertarian Stan Verdain, 65, moved out after they put up the new sign. "Back in the 80s we had the two stop signs. I've shot them full of holes, and they are more like yield signs when we drive around. Now they put up that new one with the flashing lights. We don't need to spend electricity on that." Stan is selling his cabin, renting a U-haul to get the stuff to Seattle. There he will trade the truck for a bigger vehicle. He is heading for Alaska. "I will be living at the end of the road on the coast. Gasoline comes in by boat."

British rocker Keith Richards Dead?

Connecticut -- The legendary guitarist was spending an awful lot of time in bed. The tour ended the 15th and he came home the 16th. Nobody has seen him get up.



Unsure of his status and wishing to respect his privacy, Keith's staff informed him after two days: "Keith, you are really dead this time." Not wanting to be impolite, the rocker responded from the hereafter:" What? I've left "the building" without a pack of cigrettes? Bummer." As they prepared to take the body away, however, Keef seems to have gone missing. He was definitely in the vehicle at his estate, but as the traffic was heavy and stalled at times, Keith seems to have wandered off in search of the cigarettes he needs for the afterlife. Heirs are uncertain.

Conspiracy Theorist Lectures At Target

Kansas City, MO -- Area conspiracy theorist "Louie" lectures on weekdays at a local Target store from 10-11 AM. Observers think he then goes for his medication at the nearby clinic.


The lectures are 10-15 minutes each with a sit down break for a few minutes, especially if there are no new customers.

Chemtrails are apparently a sprayed aluminum and glass bead mixture applied by the Government to the atmosphere to reduce plutonium. The plutonium on the other hand has escaped from nuclear reactors.

Why doesn't the uranium and the cooling water escape?

"It just doesn't."

Apparently the plutonium byproduct shoots neutrons at the reactor wall (metal) and bores channels through it to escape to the other side. Water does not leak out even then, so the plutonium may well seal the channels it makes with more neutrons shot at the metal.

It all makes sense now!

Greeks Did Not Know It Was Bailout Money

Athens -- The Greeks have spent all the money as lunch money and allowance.

"We did not know that was the bailout money. What little was left over we spent on wine and bread."

Another woman on the street, Sylvia Mercouri (35, Athens), said "please send some more, I did not get anything from the first money."

Hard Rock Fan Rejects CD set

Kansas -- In rural Kansas, hard rock fan Ted Myers, 46, was disappointed to see the fourth disc on a used box he picked up on the internet cheap.


"It's always the last disc. Look at the the disc on the right! Survivor! They could have put some more minor bands like the REO Speedwagon that they picked or Rick Derringer but no! Loverboy!Toto! Toto is light rock!"

He will just put the three discs in slim cases in the car and toss the fourth.

Area smoker doing fine with two mirrors

Manhattan, KS -- Smoker Kathy Marks, 45, has been driving a car with no left mirror for 3 years, ever since she got the slightly dented Toyota in Nebraska three years ago. In the summer she drives with the window open and can "sense if someone is in that lane" without looking. The window is open to allow easy smoking.


 Kathy also has an uncanny skill for backing up through entire parking lots without turning to face backwards.
