I think there is more to this pallet story, I just cannot wrap my mind around it....

If you weren't retired when you started to read this thread you would be when you finished.

I was retired when I started reading this thread, and even more tired when I finished...

Paul - that line got a big laugh out of me...... is that effect from the time taken, or the scrambled brainwaves you get from this thread ? :laughing:

I was checking this thread's search ranking, and came across this article. (Posting history and information will probably get me banned !).

Pallets: The single most important object in the global economy.

If you fell asleep in History class, skip that part, (I found it well written.... interesting to see how CHEP came about....) and see what some of the heavy hitters (IKEA, Costco) have come up with for alternatives.

Back to our regularly scheduled program.... Maybe the old wooden pallets are running scared from the new gang in town ?

I have to plead guilty to skipping to the end, just like in HS Lit class. I am now wondering why I keep reading these.

Read today of a guy in fl building a shooting backstop in his backyard. With pallets.
Neighbors complained because it is a residential lot.

LOL, ROFLMAO (?) whatever, but laughing my A-- off, almost cost me my libation.

Of course I will.

I have enlisted some secret squirrels to apply their number crunching techniques and data capture routines to plot the pallets and determine their behaviour patterns.

Those would be the stealth black flying squirrels.

Darn. My mind is still wrapped around those pallets - like barbed wire around your rotary cutter. Somebody needs to find them, remove them and put an end to this forever thread. Ha,ha,ha

Hygiene, never thought of that ! Yes, maybe the pallets were placed in the files to allow time to de contaminate.

Notice that the article against wooden pallets was posted by GoPlasticPallets company. Funny that !

Jim, you caught that too! I suppose the plastic cutting board people will be jumping on 'board' too.

I did not catch that. Circle the spaceships, we have an infiltrator!
