Not a lot of toilet paper, so I hope it's not a nine wiper when I'm done

I’m so glad you told us that.
You may wish to know that I had a dump earlier which was awkward because the hinge on the toilet seat is broken.

Aren't the Bee Gees from Manchester before they got off to Australia? They've sold double the amount of records Oasis have when it comes to worldwide sales.

There's an old tale about an engineer who charged $10,000 to fix a machine:

$1 for turning the right screw and $9,999 for knowing which screw to turn.

Well, it’s not just a legend — the engineer was real. His name was Charles Proteus Steinmetz (1865–1923), a brilliant mind in the field of electrical engineering.

One day, at Henry Ford’s River Rouge plant, a massive generator broke down. None of Ford’s engineers could figure out the problem. So, Ford called in Steinmetz.

When he arrived, Steinmetz asked for only three things: a notebook, a pencil, and a bed. He spent two days and nights listening to the machine, jotting down calculations.

Finally, Steinmetz requested a ladder, a tape measure, and a piece of chalk. He climbed up the generator, took a few measurements, and marked a spot with an X.

Turning to Ford’s engineers, he said, "Remove this panel, unwind the coil exactly here, and remove 16 turns of wire."

They did — and the generator roared back to life.

A few days later, Henry Ford received a bill from Steinmetz: $10,000.

Ford, surprised by the amount, asked for an itemized invoice. Steinmetz replied:

Marking the spot with chalk: $1

Knowing where to mark: $9,999

Without a second thought, Ford paid the bill.

This story was documented by Jack B. Scott, the son of one of Ford’s employees, in Life magazine in 1965.

Steinmetz was only about 4 feet tall, with a hunched back and uneven gait — but behind his unusual appearance lived one of the greatest scientific minds of the era, a friend to Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, and Thomas Edison.
