Comic. Dimensional Lumber Tape Measure. [mockup of “2x4” piece of wood showing the dimensions as 1½“ by 3 ½“] Dimensional lumber sizes are tricky. A “2x4” is actually 1½“ by 3 ½“, and a “1x8” is ¾“ by 7⅛“. [two tape measures: one is labeled 12’, the other 12’*] If you know someone into carpentry or woodworking, get them our *dimensional lumber tape measure*. [A “normal tape measure” with even increments and a “dimensional lumber tape measure” with increments at different lengths for each inch] *Don’t tell them you got it*—just leave it in their toolbox. They’ll appreciate the surprise when all their measurements work out!

Apparently if you buy enough Otoro and top shelf saki, the sushi chef gives you monkfish liver on the house.

Can’t complain about my flight, in JetBlue mint.

Yeah, it is surprising that midway is seen as the “other Chicago airport” when ohare is so run down.

I’m on a BOS to SFO flight, I’ll mention it to the crew.
