Dear Lady Lee,
Again the memory jogs---all of the above comes surging back. You know the story: Nick Nasty, a house painter, inadvertently paints himself into a corner of the room, then realizes he's stuck [oil-base paint;hours to dry]. He's cross and rues the day he was born. Looking down, he notices something stuck to the bottom of the paint can. A booklet from the Watchtower Society! Disgruntled, knowing he's cornered and having nothing better to do, he peels it off the can and starts reading, and reading, and....Two days later (the paint did dry) he shows up at the KH, is offered a study, et cetera...and becomes Brother Nicolas Nice. It could happen, you know!
I got in trouble at Bethel for shimming up a wobbly piece of light-weight machinery with the old pink song book. Sacrilege!
Out of the corner,
CoCo
