["J. Kolenovsky" <garden@hal-pc.org>]

For some reason, reading about Kohlrabi, made me they about
Diatamaeceous Earth (must be a miswired brain link).

Other day had a guy come in and wanted some "DE". I asked for "swimming
pool filter?". "Yes"  he replied, "Oh, Diatamaeceous Earth, we have some
over here." Him - "No. DE". Bit tongue. Took him over there and pointed
to the box, "Diatamaeceous Earth". He said he wanted some "DE". I
explained it was DE and how it was formed many moons ago. He looked
puzzled. Anyway after climbing up a ladder 15 feet to get him 3 40#
boxes that didn't spew out DE powder, he was finally convinced that they
spew powder. He wasn't happy with that but took the box and said, "Thank
you for the DE".

1. If he was a mystery shopper, he was a dipshit.

2. If he was a customer, he was retarded and ignorant, not necessarily
in any order.

3. If he was Al-Quaeda (he was a middle-easterner), who knows what he
will make with it.

4. Maybe he was in a brain study and the stitches were concealed.
