i saw something interesting at home depot today...
   
i was picking up some fittings for a plumbing project, and as i was going to the check out, they were getting some items delivered thru the front garage bay doors at the front(as opposed to the loading dock) and one of the items was a very large palletfull of boxes of extra-fine dustmasks...packs of 20. and it didn't seem to be their usual brand of dustmask(i did a drywall project last fall and was in the market).
it may have just been an ordinary delivery...but it seemed like an awful lot of masks for what is otherwise a down building/remodelling market, and i was wondering if they were stocking up for the projected fall swine flu season...and wondering if i shouldn't oughta pick up a box now...?

The real source of the swine flu:

It has nothing to do with swine flu. Home Depot is a red company. As such, they get advance information from the U.S.  military on the chemtrail spraying schedule. I'm sure you will not find these masks at Lowe's.

Hey DUmba$$, deliveries are made to the rear of the building.  Returns are brought in the front door.  The building market has slowed, so some drywall contractor brought back a whole pallet load he bought at a discount last fall.   :thatsright:

I use a couple of those "extra fine" dust masks per day at the moment because I'm sanding and repainting parts of my house.

This type of mask won't do shit for a chemical or biological agent, but manage to keep the bulk of the paint and wood dust out of my throat and nose.

However, I don't really want the DUmmies to find this out; Their paranoia amuses me.   :-)
