alright, this one needs a bit of explaining. i work for byu maintenance (a religious university). i dont do any actual maintenance, however. i am a clerk/erand boy. i sit at a desk most of the day and do paper work and order parts and tools from various vendors around town. most of our vendors deliver their parts to us for free. but some of the smaller stores dont deliver or they charge an arm and a leg to do it. so i get to go there and pick it up. i have no complaints. it gets me out of the warehouse for a little bit. so, one day my boss tells me to go to this one store in orem, utah (familytown, usa) and replace a couple of hoses. he says it is called evco and it is just off center street. so i pull into the parking lot and read the sign for the first time: "Evco. House of Hose." baffled, i tell my co-workers about it as soon as i get back. we all have a good laugh. later i tell my friend marc about how i went to the house of hose the other day and bought some hose with my byu credit card. as it turns out, he has actually heard of it before. and then he tops it. back east somewhere near boston there is a furniture store called "the sofa king." anyway, i recently got evco's business card, which is why i thought of it.
