I Scared Away a Salesman Today

Hahahaha! Well done! :thumbup:

I dont have a busse () so I havent heard this one before.

I've told this before on the Busse forum, so it is a re-run.

It was about a week after my heart surgery in 1994. I was sitting in the den in a recliner with my pajama top open. Down my chest was the red, scabby, ugly looking wound from the surgery. I also had three nasty looking puncture wounds where the drain tubes had been. My first Busse knife ever, a large Steel Heart II, had just arrived, and I was examining and fondling it.

My then 13 year old and very eary-blooming daughter walked in with a boy from the neighborhood I had never seen before, and he really loolked a little too old to be hanging out with her. She introduced him. I noticed that he kept eyeballing the knife and my chest. As they walked away, I said. "Son, you should have seen the loser."
I never saw him again.

She laughs about it today, but she was kinda aggravated about it back then.

Well done sir :thumbup:

I think I'll be doing something very similar once I have a family of my own. I would be duty-bound to do it.

I think that this is a VERY good idea - working with power tools while having your back to anyone that may approach isn't really the best idea, if you can avoid doing that then you should. If you have to face the wrong way then mounting a mirror on the wall could be worth considering.

Mirrors... never thought of that.
Good idea. :thumbup:
That just might save my life or limbs.
Our shop is small with large machines fit in wherever they'll go. We simply can't face the door most of the time.

I have a story, but it involves a axe. My father-in-law was working in the back yard splitting some wood with an axe and a group of Jehovahs Witnesses came to the front door. As typical, they would not take no for answer. My father-in-law came out front with a long handled axe on his shoulder and they all took off screaming down the street.
