The Story Behind It


Is kaput.
That thing there on the trash pile is our ceiling fan from the living room here. It is kaput. And this is a bad time for that sort of thing. But The Fuzz is a resourceful sort of fella. Back at the old place, we had a pretty nice one, and of course it was not being used any more.
So when he got off work Monday, he slipped over to the old place and removed it.
Since he was traveling by motorcycle, he had thought to leave the disassembled thing there for a later pick up. But then, he got to thinking about it. It seemed that the motor part might just fit into the saddlebag if the shaft was left sicking out. And it did! It was then a simple to fasten the paddles on with those always useful bungee cords. He was just ready to head for home when the rain started. Well, a little rain this time of year is a blessing, so he sat on the porch and waited it out. When it quit, he headed for home.
But it was a trick. The rain was only waiting to get him out in the open. And then it cut loose again. He did make it home, but he had already had his shower.
The next day he did get it installed. And he only shocked himself once. And here it is, in action! And that, people, is the story behind our Mystery Pixes
