would it be kind of funny if it were a potato chip, a tortilla chip, or a Sun Chip crumb?

It’s pretty big. I bet it still took him hours to notice it.

And sawdust in the whiskers.

A guardian angel named “Chip”? Or is that the RIGHT shoulder?

Chips Ahoy!

Chips on my shoulders, chips in my hair, chips on the floor all around where I work, but I hate finding them in bed in the middle of the night. Just bought a new vacuum just for sucking up wood chips and plastic bits.

Even with my shop-vac attached to my Miter saw or table saw, I still get sawdust and wood chips on me. Wish I had an attachment for my circle saw and drill press.

he looks like he’d just like to lumber off

Not a chip that big , but lots of woodchips when cutting firewood ;-)

Some of us are pretty chippy…

I have chips from top to toe when using the chain saw!

I’ve always known what it meant to have a chip on one’s shoulder. What I did not know was the origin of the phrase, so I looked it up. Once again, I have learned something from GC.

The last ones on my shoulder (and everywhere else)was sawdust from the chainsaw after cutting tree limbs.

He must have just come from his wood shop in the basement (or maybe the garage). My grandpa used to build furniture in his garage – I still have an end table that he built many years ago.

I wonder if Julia Child or Martha Stewart ever got a chocolate chip on their shoulder.

And freshly sawn lumber is a favorite scent.
