This made my day.

I had the same problem with every box of nails...most of them were pointing
in the wrong direction!

Running and ducking.

Ran out of a sense of decorum and personal dignity, did we?

You misunderstand him. Ed has writed so many wrongs, he should be sainted.
Ed is quite worthy of such a plumb position.

Aaarrrrgggghhhhh.  Can't believe I fell for that.

Those are for the other side of what you’re building.

I actually had a similar pile a few years ago. A lot of my older, less-quality
levels aren't accurate for determining when something is plumb. So I started
marking them with a 'W' for 'wrong' and at one time I had a small pile sitting
there.

Looking back now, I can't believe I missed the visual pun! Perhaps it's early
onset dementia.

Ed

All my wooden levels are off as well. So I use them all and take an
average, while murmuring something about wisdom of the crowd.

Chris

We could use some of those levels to check for the wrong orientation...
