Bulldozers are for babies. Douse the place with gasoline and break out the
hot dogs.

Oh, gee, now you're bringing back memories of Goodfellas and Office

Only marginally related, but if you haven't seen the movie "Snatch", go rent
it. Amazing. You'll thank me.

I own it on DVD. Only watched it once, though, over two years ago. Have
to rewatch it. Snazzy British comic action thriller with very snappy
dialogue is my recollection. Very impressive.

After I pulled the pump and pipe from my well, it felt as if the 6"
casing was tugging at anything small and droppable until I covered it
up. Funny how that works.

Big magnet. Rope. No problem. Dont' worry too much.
