True, strange ..and not a little disturbing.
This has always stuck in my mind, for better or for worst. When you read it you will understand why.
A bloke I knew had bought a house and was doing renovations. I called in one day and he was sanding the wooden floor with an electric sander IN THE NUDE, apart from a face mask. I was a little surprised and when he stopped when he saw me I naturally enough asked him what he was doing. "Sanding the floor" came the reply. I told him that I was aware of this and asked him about the nude bit.
He explained that sanding raised a lot of dust, (I said that I was aware of this,) and that when he put his clothes in the washing machine after sanding the floor the dust in the clothes clogged the filter so this was his solution to the problem. All he had to do was shower.
A perfectly sensible and practical solution you will undoubtedly say. Anyway he finished doing up the house and sold it and moved on... but that memory lingers every time I see the house or see a sander in the DIY department.
Anyway like the adage says...(Truth is strange.. stranger than fiction). 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Blokes either a nutter or a pervert or he has a sanding dust on naked flesh fetish. Shocked Why do I think this, it’s because disposable decorating overalls that cover you from head to toe cost £1.50. In fact I even saw some in a pound shop the other month

Did he know you were coming round… I would steer clear if he invites you round in the new house to help him out with any DIY projects he may be undertaking Rolling with laughter For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

He was (is?) single and has moved on. When I came home that evening the wife asked me "Anything interesting happen today?", I didn't know what to say. Whistle 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

When I was a youngster I used to help out on a couple of farms to earn a bit of cash. One I worked for was well known as a being very eccentric and was a hoot to work for. When I started working for him he informed me that Sunday was 'naked day' on the farm. Needless to say I decided not to work Sundays........ Embarassed spool forward a year or two, I decided as I was passing to pop in to say hello as I hadn't seen him for a while.........yep, on a Sunday.........completely forgot about the Sunday arrangements. I was greeted by the sight of him naked apart from a pair of wellies...........still mentally scarred many many years later Big Cry

Actually happened. No need to make stuff up when real life throws something like this at you. Not nice having your veracity questioned. Sad 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Och - don't worry Thumbs Up Everyone up here in Sconny Botland is totally sane and "normal". Therefore the natives find it hard to believe how peeps from other nations behave Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

However, if he'd chocolate coated and deep fried his genetals it'd be considered totally acceptable Rolling with laughter
