What do "they" do

[Dean May]

I used to get on really good terms with the local salvage yards by keeping
them supplied with 14 ga. But a few years ago someone started supplying them
with a braided wire that cut better.

Right ! !   Had a fellow ask me if I could sell him about 6 ft. of wire. 
Being curious as
for what reason he needed the wire, he told me that he is replacing a 
windshield on
a car, and he needs the wire to take off an old windshield at an auto 
wrecking yard.
He gets it started under one side of the winshield and works it to the other

end.
Says it works like a charm.  Good on him.
