Friday Fax
A Weekly Summary of Polywater® News of Incredible Importance
Issue #606

Nice testimonial from Canada.
           Our favorite Friday Fax topic is a customer compliment. This week we share one from a HV contractor in Alberta, Canada following a visit there by Polywater's Christine Otam and the local agent, EECOL, to pitch Type TR and share the Pull-Planner Software. "I want to thank you guys for coming out. I delivered your samples to our different projects this morning for my people to try, and they found them to be extremely helpful in their duties. The sample kit for prepping the semi-conductors was very smooth with no extra rubbing or wiping. The boys really liked it. Even 'Grumpy"--a very long-time employee who hates everything--we think maybe cracked a smile, but I doubt it; he grunted and asked if we had more of the cleaning wipes. I will be talking to the reps from EECOL. Have a safe trip home. Hope to talk to you again. Thanks for the data on the cable pulls. Maybe I'll look like a professional now with a 'calculator' instead of using my phone. I appreciate all your help and experience." --L.A. Kay.

Then in a follow-up message Mr. Kay felt compelled to add, "Hi guys, I have a small project coming up with some line work and an underground duct bank with ups and downs and around a couple of corners. I do not have the particulars yet but like everything, it is a panic. I played with [the Pull-Planner], very nice. You guys are great. Great professionals. No b*&%$#@t. I like that. Talk to you soon."

The Friday Fax Editor's Joke of the Week
The Joke		                               More of Why We Love Children.   1) POLICE: At the end of the day I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. "Is that a dog you got back there?" he asked. "It sure is," I said. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, "What'd he do?" 2) ELDERLY: While working for an organization delivering lunch to the elderly, I'd take my 4-year-old son on my afternoon rounds. He was intrigued by the various appliances of old age, like the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I saw him staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy ain't gonna believe this!" 3) DRESS-UP: A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit. You know it always gives you a headache the next morning." 4) DEATH: While walking by his church, a minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. His 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial was required, they'd secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the prayer and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: "Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes." 5) BIBLE: A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found," the boy called out, "I think it's Adam's underwear!"
