Oh. Well, still, I've never seen such a request in a public toilet before. "Aim well" could've worked without need for cleaning supplies, but I don't think that should need to be said.

Nearly... nearly... nearly... Shit! Yeah... Even on a lathe you can do this.
My biggest personal metalworking fuck-up was snapping off a tap flush in a hole I'd spent a long time carefully drilling in a steel bike part I had hand cut and filed from bar stock, ruining the piece so that I had to start again from scratch. My Dad was all "Well, you'll be more careful next time, won't you, Elder Daughter?"
I was ready to die. :claireface:

I have a few machine shop stories, but my favorite is the time the head machinist came into the room as I was drilling a countersink hole in a mount for a fiberoptic lens. I'm being cautious with it, making sure it's the right depth. He sees me, tells me, "You're babyin' that thing! Lemme show you how it's done!", takes over the lathe and drills straight through. I tell him what I was trying to do and his response was "Well, you should have shown me the drawing first!" :psyduck:
Is it cold in here?:

To restore it to the necessary dimensions, you just have to spend some time defiling it. :claireface:
