I got this from another carving list I am on, and many of you here are on that list as well so some of you have read this.
This was posted by Woodbutcher on the other list and I thought I would pass it along to you.


WHY WOODCARVING IS BETTER THAN SEX
(an original by Dave White)


1. If you are not very good at carving you can discuss your problems openly at the next meeting without fear of embarrassment.
2. The object of your interest does not require a lot of caressing and compliments before you get down to the good stuff.
3. It is socially acceptable to invite people to watch you carve.
4. There is nothing tin the Ten Commandments prohibiting carving somebody else's piece.
5. Nothing restricts you either ethically or morally from taking lessons to carve better.
6. You can buy, sell, destroy, or trade carvings.
7. You can easily change tools to do the carving better.
8. It seems that you carve better as you get older.
9. You can stop part way through a carving session without suffering any criticism.
10. Often carving can be done with a headache, and has been known to cure a headache.
11. You can display your carving successes on the walls of your home
12. You don't have to read your carving magazines behind closed doors.
13. Discussing carving in front of young children is not considered inappropriate, in fact it is encouraged.
14. You can go to schools and give carving demonstrations to classes of children without repercussions.
15. You don't have to watch the Italian channel on Friday night to catch a carving show.
16. Long-term carving relationships between two people of the same sex do not require government sanctioned legislation.
17. The product of such a liaison is not thought of as socially disadvantaged in polite society.
18. Should you finish the act of carving quickly that would be considered a positive attribute, rather than as a lack of muscular control.
19. Should it come out that you have been a secret carver for many years, no one will think less of you when you come out of the closet.
20. You can leave your clothes on while you carve.

Cute but what is sex? : : : :

just get'em all dirty! :-*

In carving 'getting stoned' brings new life back to a nicked or damaged blade.

tried carving with no clothes on 1 time
almost cut something vital
now I keep my clothes on

LOL

glad you all liked it
I liked it when I read it and thought I would share

[Hi_Ho_Sliver]

Well if carving is better than sex...you don't have anything vital!! :

7. You can easily change tools to do the carving better.

Well according to much of the spam e-mail I receive that is something that carving and sex have in common. :

And Colin, I think sex is the number that falls between 5 and 7.

10. Often carving can be done with a headache, and has been known to cure a headache.
LOL Oh yes, and sex does not lie between five and seven. No indeed, sex is in fact latin and lies between quinque (5) and septem (7), much to the delight of all latin students under the age of 12.
