New Sink Shows Roots

I installed a new faucet and drain tonight; the old one served 27 years faithfully and retired with honors.

The directions were weird. Drawing are nice, but when I read these directions, I seemed to hear Colin's voice in my head. Then I noticed 1.G: "Spit and drink a pop. See? We told you it was no fun to get that stuff in your mouth," referring to its prior warning while disconnecting the drain.

I thought, "what kind of directions are those?" And then I thought, "no way - I wonder where the factory is." If anyone else had bought this faucet besides good ol' Indiana-Tom, they would wonder what the engineer meant by 'pop'.

My suspicions were correct: Indianapolis.
