I'm sure you all agree, there's lot of people who can't read a tape measure. Just have them hold the measure part instead of the end when measuring a trailer and enjoy the show LOL

on the first day of "wood shop" in 1965, the shop teacher passed around a piece of wood, and everyone got a sheet of paper, an envelope and a pencil

everyone was told to take as long as you need, it was critical to get an exact measurement...
then you signed your name and sealed the envelope
everyone had already answered the question: OF COURSE I KNOW HOW TO USE A TAPE MEASURE

i learned a lot that day

We must be about the same age. My first day of 'wood shop', ol' Mr. Guss came out and motioned for us to sit down. With his outstretched hand, he was missing the first 2 digits. Later, we saw he was missing a digit on the other hand, too. I still have my name plate and stool we made.

mister gutman was smarter than your guy, he had nine fingers.

my first job after high school was working for krauszer's a dairy store chain with a manufacturing plant

my father was one of their top people, he had eight fingers, missing one on each hand

nick krauszer was the oldest of 3 brothers, he had 9 fingers.

i was one of the few who stayed for almost 10 years, was promoted till there was no where else to go & still left with 10 fingers

(i will answer the question, lucky more than careful)
