Carpentry

Harold’s client rubbed his chin as he considered his new desk.

“It’s very beautiful,” he said to Harold.

Harold thanked him..

The client continued, “Did you include a secret drawer?”

“Yup. Do you want me to show you?”

“Let me try first.” The client inspected the desk closely but found nothing.

“Okay, I give up. Where is it?”

Harold stepped forward and pushed at a corner of the desk. It slid away, revealing a space behind it. There was a piece of paper inside. Harold fished it out and read the words printed on it.

Back to the drawing board.
