Oh, no! Clumsy Monstre! I’m so sorry, ladies, I got red wine all over your skirts and blouses! But don’t worry, I know just what to do.

You’d all better take those off, and we’ll send them with **Wesley** to the cleaners, pronto – before the stains set.

Allow me to make it up to you all with massages. 😃

It’s not that, um, hard, I’m SURE you can manage…and they’re VERY durable…it’s not likely you’ll break it. 🙂

Durable? Hmph, I’ve heard that before…I think we need to test that theory.

You don’t want that full-body massage, then?

This nozzle will operate regardless of the heat and mositure in the environment it’s put to work in, in fact, the hotter the better… and we will SO test that theory.

Kung Fu grip doesn’t indicate strong squeezing, just a particular hand-position that can hold a plastic rifle or deliver a karate chop.

Not to change the topic from this lovely conversation but I’m bored on a conference call, so I went to your webpage out of curiosity, and I see you stuck a miniature on there.

No comment, just…cool.

That makes a lot of sense. A fire nozzle should suited to withstand heat and moisture. It sounds like your nozzle is quite effective, indeed. Now, how do we go about testing?

**Monstre** , I’ve seen your picture m’dear…how old could you possibly have been in 1993? 13, 14?

Well then, let’s don’t be hasty! I’d be a fool to turn down that offer. Are you going to get naked and give me a full body massage?

I put one up a long time ago - I thought I delinked it, when I decided I didn’t have time to follow through. But yeah, that’s one of the earliest efforts.

Testing is simple, you just grab on, get the engine running, and pull…oh, and HOLD ON! These things operate at a high pressure!  
Now, if it’s a massage you’re in for, I can handle that for you…large hands, y’know…

What are you offering? Although talking to you is certainly helpful.

The call is run by someone who seems to be…slow. The people who keep asking questions seem to be slow.  
And I have mounds of work staring at me! :mad:
