Once upon a time...

[jdurand]

Once upon a time there lived the vise family

Papa vise, mama vise, and baby vise.



Most of the time they just hung out together

But from time to time one of them would be put under stress

They held up to this lifestyle well, as if they were made for it

Papa vise even knew a trick, he could hold things at precise angles

He could even hold baby vise at an angle, in case Mt Mill had special needs today.

Sure, they weren't perfect like the Kurt family, but they still did their work when asked

Papa vise, being the oldest and most expensive does his job without fail.

Mama vise being younger and less expensive (never call her cheap!) Has a problem with her reach.

Baby vise is the youngest and cheapest. Baby had a bad joint that had to be replaced, the same as Papa. Sad for one so young.

Dr Lathe was happy to make the new joints for both of them, so everybody is now happy.

Mama is currently tied to her work so papa and baby are just keeping her company.

Tomorrow papa takes over for a while.

The end.

Another time I'll tell you the story of The Three Vise Men.

I have many vises, some are even tools.
