Beach towels from Port Bruce? Pa da bum.

My drop sheets in the shop, and elsewhere, are old beach towels and recently they helped produce a laugh.

Last week, while painting trim in a couple's kitchen in Byron - with four beach towels protecting the floor - I was asked by the home owner where I got such colourful drop clothes.

["Where did I get this towel?"]

I said, "From the beach at Port Bruce, last summer."

My comment produced a blank stare so I added, "And I had to move fast."

Finally, I got a laugh using one of my tired old lines.

I recalled my success yesterday while adding blue paint to two birdhouses and thinking up new material.
