rates right up there with DD baking a ham with the plastic thing on the side. Luckily I came home and asked about it. We still laugh about 7 years later.

That's funny. But to tell the truth, I was pretty panicky peeling my paper off mine, I was afraid I was ruining it.....obviously (to everyone but ME! and you...) you're SUPPOSED to peel it off!

Ha-HA!!! Yes, I did exactly the same thing when I bought my 6x24 ruler. I kept thinking, why did they put this stupid paper on? How am I supposed to see the numbers? When I finally figured out I had to peel the paper off, I felt dumber than dumb!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I think you win the prize on "dumb" things,lol!!! I guess it's not any dumber than my DS & DM trying to figure out how to oil the sewing machine with one of those small kits from JoAnn's. The sm. bottle had a stopper in the top you had to take out before putting on the nozzle. You have to know my DS, she's a college graduate with a degree in engineering. We still laugh over it that she couldn't figure it out and had to ask my DF.
