Um... why do I need a lumber room?

Comments

[allodolo]

To keep your hammering from waking the rest of us, no doubt.

[chicagos_warden]

What hammering? I don't hammer. There is a distinct lack of hammering at my house.

[allodolo]

Should you choose to take up woodwork it would be different matter, would it not?

[chicagos_warden]

In three days? I don't see myself taking up carpentry.

Maybe I can make a walking stick. That's more whittling though.

[allodolo]

You already have one stick; why would you need another?

[chicagos_warden]

Well what else am I supposed to do with all the lumber? And it's a hockey stick. There's a difference. Guy who adopted me used to make them. Bit of reminiscing. Not like we have much better to do, right?

[allodolo]

Quite. And a stick is a stick.

...You said there's lumber available in that room of yours?

[chicagos_warden]

No, different shapes, sizes and purposes.

Yes. The one with my name on it.

[allodolo]

A walking cane can be used to hit something as well as a hockey stick can.

I will be borrowing some of that wood.

[chicagos_warden]

Not cane. Stick. Canes are for invalids.

You plan on giving it back?

[allodolo]

Then are you an invalid?

Not unless you would like back a pile of shavings.

[chicagos_warden]

Are you mentally deficient?

I said I wasn't making a cane.

Well that's not borrowing now is it.

[allodolo]

No, but I've read hitting someone in the right place on their head can make them so.

If you aren't making a cane then why mention the possibility in the first place?

Then I'll be taking some of that wood.

[chicagos_warden]

You started talking about canes. I was talking about walking sticks.

I don't need it all. Have some. But if you start hitting people I'm confiscating it.

[allodolo]

They are two names for the same thing.

Wood is no good for hitting people with. It will break eventually.

[chicagos_warden]

No, words make a difference. I already went over this.

It's not like we don't have a million two by fours.
