	The mention of a sign below and my response to it were posted to the Frugal Fun Woodworking list but 
I thought it might be fun to steal it and post it here...   :-)

	I like that...   I have worked many trades in my life (I have been self employeed much of my life), usually 
two or three businesses at the same time. One of the long time ones was 20 years as a shoemaker. There is 
a very old saying in the trade that "The shoemaker's wife has to go barefooted".   ;-)

	Another I could add is:  "There is only one blacksmith in hell and he is there for pounding on cold iron".

	Yet another:   "Farmers tend to live poor and die rich".


	Any others?
