My grandfather was a building contractor back in the '20's and 30's. Dad showed me many buildings he built around Yelm, Washington. He said grandpa would give most anyone a chance to prove himself, on two conditions: He had to wear suspenders, and couldn't smoke.

So he took me in the woods, found an ash tree about the right size, cut it down, and carved me a perfect baseball bat that afternoon. Told me I couldn't hit rocks with it, or I'd wreck it- so he bought me a couple of baseballs, too.
