Well half(2) of the pallets are blue and half are not. This tells me that two probably do not meet OSHA standards. Most likely the two unpainted pallets. Perhaps illegal pallets that were smuggled across the boarder. Maybe carrying large loads of drugs at some point. Whew! Glad thats solved.

Looks pretty classy to me.

If your house is on wheels why spend a lot on the patio?

You never know when you may have to leave town in a hurry. I could have the patio in the back of the truck in no time.

It's the everyday table wine at my house. Good, reliable quality. Not real heavy. Good stuff.

Looks like they at least spruced the place up a bit before your crew came.

It's in the middle of a river bed?

the oriental rug will more than likely bunch together when one leg falls through, depending on the weight of victim (if the US ... more likely a problem) others will slide with victim but their combined weight will cause the rug to become taunt preventing a terrible embrassing incident

ummm, this probably better solved with Quatum Physics but knowing the US gov't they already payed $50mil for a study on the dangers of rednecks using pallets. I do believe they didn't choose the optional $10mil study for combining pallets from columbia with those freed from domestic companies.
