Newer members of the List may be mystified by Curt's humorous reference to
sleeping on a joiner's bench:


"And the bench fits in your van, yes?"


This is a reference to "Living in a van down by the river." - which would
supposedly be your fate if your wife chucks you out because you  accumulated too
many tools and/or spent too much time "playing" (as she'd see it) in the shop.


The archives no doubt contain several funny references to "TVDBTR" or "VDBTR" -
The Van Down by the River.

Whose bench is too short to sleep on.
