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...'


Damn i've got so much catching up to do on the boards, but I didn't think i could let this one die. It just reminded me of a joke that was played on a very gullible friend of mine. When he was a rookie, the guys on his hockey team told him to go upstairs to the canteen and ask for a "dikfer".

Sure enough he's upstairs in a minute quite confused, asking the lady working the canteen "what's a dikfer"???
