@dreamerfrombirth: There's nothing like a good bout of pedantry early in the morning to get the juices flowing! I just mean, we can pick the old adage apart and be literal.

Nah! I don't think you will do a good job picking out the speck when your vision is clouded. About the mechanic and housecleaner, well those people are PAID to do a good job. They'll get sued if they screw up.
