You know, after having played machinist, removing a nice quarter-inch long buried splinter from a sheet of plywood was pretty much a no-drama situation.

How did the plywood get the splinter? Was it not wearing gloves?

Was the comma not it the right place in the sentence? Happens to me all the time.

Considering the price of plywood did you keep the splinter?

Let me loan you a bit of advise.  That should be "lying on the floor."

Couldn't resist.  Sorry.
