Wow! 6 years? At least you got a new ruler to use from all that waiting! LOL

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.

you now have a fresh new ruler! bet you see better to cut.

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:

this is funny!! I was nervous to take the paper off one of mine - was afraid the printing was on teh paper and I wouldn't have th measurements!! Thanks for sharing!

now that is funny , and something I can see myself doing LOL

I think you're real smart - haven't you got a brand new ruler now! :-P

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.

You mean like leave the sticky stuff on the new microwave!

Or trying to pour the wine with the cork still in? ;-)
