The death of an eyelet setter.....

It is a sad moment at okie's house......my eyelet setter died last night.

There I was making a few cards and thought I would use eyelets. I grabbed my ever faithful eyelet setter and went about to punching the holes. I got two done and then all the sudden.....IT DIDN'T POP! The setter I have is a spring loaded type gadget.

I tried to do CPR but it just didn't respond. I then tried open heart surgery *okie was quite impressed with the genius simplistic design of the setter* and that didn't work. I would have tried organ transplant but a compatible donor could not be found.

Afterward I did an autopsy to try and find the cause of death. But alas, since I know nothing about eyelet setters I still wasn't able to find the cause. So the poor little eyelet setter sits on my desk not breathing, not working...not moving. I have been able to pull myself together and write an obituary.
