Memorandum
TO: "Popcorn" Textured Ceilings and/or Inventors of Same
FR: Winslow
RE: Durability Deficiencies
Sir(s):
There are no adequate terms in the English language to express the contempt with which I regard your products and application methodology. It is apparently impossible to perform any sort of repair or installation work on or around a surface treated with your products that does not result in a prodigious cascade of granules and dust upon the unlucky soul tasked with doing such work. So insidious are your materials, they defy even basic precautions such as safety-rated eyewear, allowing themselves to be blown to and fro with even the slightest of air currents, virtually guaranteeing their intrusion into the eyes and/or other facial features.
If you insist upon continuing in your present course of ceiling texturing, please develop a stronger, more durable grade of adhesive, or perhaps, at least a better-tasting set of ingredients. Failing either of those recommendations, I am left with no alternative but to invite you to vigorously fornicate yourself with a generous handful of your own product.
Sincerely,
Winslow
Yep...Beware. If it is a 70s or earlier popcorn ceiling, it may contain asbestos.

There is popcorn on your ceiling and you just now got around to having some?at least a better-tasting set of ingredients.
Because it was replaced by a string bow tie.
I never thought of that as a stick figure. Good one!
