    Make sure your Bluetooth headset is on so you can answer all the calls asking why delivery is late.

    What takes longer? Pulling up 42 times or taking one measurement and laying out a line?

    Yeah all of that construction equipment they used caused global warming so it turned into a desert.

    Put some mini-traffic cones in your sleeper and use them, you only need four.

    Much longer for me to think about this tape measure long enough as a solution to most of the difficult dockings over the years.
