Plans for world domination unveiled!

Your things are pointed? That must be a worry.

 

[Alex_B]

It only hurts the first time ...

It's okay, he aims to please when pressing his point.


(Edit...yikes, you two, get a room)

 

[Hertz van Rental]

That sounds suspiciously like masturbation.

 

[Alex_B]

If I was trying to please people, I would have friends I suppose

 

[Hertz van Rental]

Not if your thing is pointed. Normal people would give you a lot of room.

As well as require you to be fitted with one of those buzzers they put on a fork lift truck

Or have a cork stuck on the end.

(You know, of course, that many vintners now use, well, rubber as corks/stoppers?)

well, this is actually not true.

there is no shortage of cork ... the opposite is the case, since rubber found its way into global mass wine production, less cork is needed and the price drops. This even leads to cork woods not being profitable enough anymore, and hence they start to disappear. Which is a shame since these days they host lots of rare fauna.

Did you know that cork is technically a hardwood?

 

[Antarctican]

Given its springy properties, no, I didn't known that. Hardwood is good.*

(*very pretty in the fall when it turns colours)

Yes I did. Corks are made from the bark of a type of oak I believe - not actually the wood itself.

A hardwood is defined as any tree that loses it's leaves in the Winter.
Which means Balsa wood is also a hardwood.
