A Weekly Summary of Polywater® News of Incredible Importance
Issue #715


          In hindsight it appears we may have been a bit shortsighted to name the caulking gun applicator tool for the FST Foam Duct Sealant as "catalog #FST-TOOL250". We had not foreseen the additional products we would later introduce that could share the same tool, such as our new UPR utility pole restoration product for woodpecker damage.

We do not want to have multiple catalog numbers for exactly the same item, nor do we want to confuse customers by forcing them to order an "FST" tool for a "UPR" product. Therefore, the solution is to phase out the FST-TOOL250 and replace it with a universal tool, catalog number "TOOL-250". This is exactly the same applicator gun previously available. Now it can be sold for multiple product line uses.

Updates will be made to the price sheet and various web pages to reflect this change. Since old customers will likely continue to order the FST-TOOL250 for some time, we will continue to accommodate them on a special order basis. New customers should be introduced to the TOOL-250 instead, and over time, the FST-TOOL250 can be transitioned out of existence.


The Joke
                              Ole's Accident. Ole's car was hit by a truck in an accident. In court, the trucking company's lawyer was questioning Ole. "Didn't you say, sir, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine’?" asked the lawyer. Ole responded, "Vell, I'll tell you vat happened. I had yust loaded my favorite mule, Bessie, into da--" The lawyer interrupted. "I didn't ask for any details. Just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine'?" Ole said, "Vell, I had yust got Bessie into da trailer and I vas driving down da road--" The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I'm trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he's trying to sue my client. I believe he's a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question." By this time the judge was fairly interested in Ole's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say." Ole thanked the judge and proceeded. "Vell, as I vas saying, I had yust loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into da trailer and vas driving her down da highvay ven dis huge semi-truck and trailer ran da stop sign and smacked my truck right in da side. I vas trown into one ditch and Bessie vas trown into da other. I vas hurting real bad and didn't vant to move. But, I could hear Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape yust by her groans. Shortly after da accident da Highway Patrolman, he came to da scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he vent over to her. After he looked at her and saw her fatal condition he took out his gun and shot her right 'tween da eyes. Den da Patrolman, he came across da road, gun still smoking, looked at me and said, 'How are you feeling?' Now vat da hell vould you say?"
