In reply to:
ah, TRIVETS... i knew it was something like that. at least we know who the REAL man here is...?
True story: I used to work as a shipper/receiver for a wholesaler... housewares, crappy tools, soft goods (blankets, towels, etc)... I got a packing slip on my desk... twenty-four 52-pc socket sets, thirty-six queen size comforters, ninety-six trivets...
Trivets? What the hell is a trivet? Found the other shipper/receiver...
"Kev?"
'Yeah...?'
"What's a trivet?"
'Those things you put hot pots on'
"Like a potholder?"
'No, you hold a hot pot with those, thus the name...'
"Uh, like those ceramic things?"
'No, they're woven... never mind, I'll get them...'
You don't even want to know how completely useless I was when it came to towels... bath towel, bath sheet, hand, face, facecloth, washcloth, dish... made of terry, cotton, jacquard... the mind reels. Towels fall into two catagories for me - house and shop - and two sizes - big enough for me after a shower and not.
