Except that TexasNative2000 merely recycled my comment from over six years ago in a near identical story :-)
OK, then, Joe 6-pack, based on your appeal and upon further deliberation, the judges are hereby REVERSING their decision, STRIPPING TexasNative2000 of his prize (whatever it was), and awarding YOU, Joe 6-pack--who, after all, ALSO came up with "a nice soot to wear"--we are now awarding you the Best Pun of the Thread Award. Congratulations!
I knew I had seen it somewhere, I just couldn't remember where. Well played.
