That reminds me of an old joke:
Two friends were out at dinner and the one friend says to the other, “guess what happened to me today? I meant to call my wife "my love" and what came out was "my blob". Boy, was she mad!”
The friend replies, “that’s funny! I had the same slip of the tongue over dinner with my wife” “Really what happened?” The friend says back “She asked me something and I said ‘shut up you witch you ruined my life’”

Thanks, Ken! It was great coming to Querétaro for the weekend. I finally got my hands on an Allie Maillard complete set conformateur, with the formillon and everything!
The spring is still elastic, like new!

Yeah, I know! They are really expensive, too. Mine was sitting in a box for like 80 years, the guy said. It doesn't need restoring, or anything. Look at this one on eBay, Brent.
There are others that are cheaper, but they don't have the formillon, so they are useless for conforming a hat.
I only paid one thousand for mine, and it is the same brand.

Brent Black Montecristi for my last night at work this week. My weekend starts tomorrow.

BTW: A couple of members asked about this tee shirt in the past. It’s from a group that collects military items. I personally collect military edge weapons. Mainly USMC edge weapons. I have over 300 items from current issue to items from the American Revolution. (Knives, Bayonets, Machetes, Swords, and one Belt Axe)
