Went to my favorite steel supplier to pick up a few odds and ends for a couple projects I've got cooking.

They presented me with this dandy branding iron as a freebie.

Seems some genius had them make it so he could brand the sidewalls on his truck tires before he had them re-capped. Wanted to make sure he got HIS tires back.

Can't imagine why that didn't work out...

Would have been nice if you could have gotten one with your name.

That's funny.

I wonder if it was just a melting episode or a kaboom!

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

The F in your name is turned backwards.

How do you pronounce that...ksioff? Is that German or something?

Is tires a new slang term for w-i-f-e?

"Zoff", same as the X in Xavier.

First name is luaP, pronounced "Lop"

So we have Lop Zoff...

Wouldn't it be "Zoff Lop" as viewed from this side of the branding iron?
