The Half-Assed Handyman

Kevin Guilfoile

At True Value we find the wood putty on a shelf near the caulk, but there is no section marked 'thin metal rods,' so we start at one end of the store and walk up and down every aisle. We do not ask for assistance. The clerk has never seen our fence, and with his sweet employee discount he probably buys lawnmowers more often than sandwich meat. What the hell would he know about fixing one?
