Where there's a will there's always a way. Redneck engineering is a favorite of mine.

Prove positive that you can either continue to agonize, or you can try harder to improvise...

So... You’re saying this is NOT a ‘ductless fan’?

It’s has been reported, that a local cool rock star, has a fan hanging around their house, and they want to know, if the fan keeps sticking around, can some thing be done about it?

Suzie Freud had her mental patients stand on their heads and think of ways to make their sessions more cool.

It's refreshing to see someone use the correct tool for a change; the other choice was WD-40!

WD-40 is for parts that are SUPPOSED to move but don't.

Caption:

My wife laughed in derision, "...and you call yourself an engineer!"

I suffered her scorn in silence. That's right baby. I'm the 'til-death-do-us-part dimwit you married - the dimwit who just installed, hidden in plain view, a remote-operated, high-resolution, camera/fan on the bedroom ceiling. Laugh on chickadee. When I'm out of town, and you and your genius lover-boy (head of his department now, is he?) are getting all hot and bothered, you'll both be making fans of your own. Livestream sweetheart. From sticky tape to icky tape. From ceiling breeze to internet sleaze. From cheatin' to weepin'. Ha ha.
