Tales from the Front: Lacking Lubrication

Lloyd Karsenbarg of Burnaby, B.C.'s Deltaquip Supplies Ltd. answered our request for funny wood flooring stories with this response: "It's more a 'stupid' than 'funny' story. Some years ago, American Lincoln used to market their American Lincoln green paint in the same type of cans as their edger gear housing grease. We inadvertently sold the customer a can of paint, and you guessed it, the customer came back about a week later complaining of a funny 'burned paint' smell. Luckily he hadn't let it run for too long, and things were returned back to normal."
