Or the time Tom instantly painted the inside of his shop black about 10
minutes after he set the spray paint can near the gas forge one cold day to
warm it up. Glad I wasn't there to witness it.

Hey I wonder if Tom would come by and paint my shop, I would like a
lighter color though. Does he wipe down the tools when he's done? :o)

Understand Tom has patented this technique, but he will lease the 
rights to you. Might be hard to defend because he demonstrated this in 
public...

Bet Tom was glad he wasn't in there too. Chalk that one up to too many 
irons in the fire.
