“I remember how
my great-uncle Jerry
would sit on the porch
and whittle all day long.
Once he whittled me
a toy boat out of
a larger toy boat I had.
It was almost as good
as the first one,
except now it had
bumpy whittle marks all over it.
And no paint,
because he had whittled off
the paint.”
Jack Handy
