UPDATE - June 14: Thank you all for the witty comments. It was a tough choice, but I picked the caption by Dzunner (on June 7):

"When Powermatic decided to enter the electric razor market, there were bound to be a few design obstacles."

I'll be shipping out the prize next week.

Here's another caption contest from FWW. I caught contributing editor Rollie Johnson having "a moment" with a belt sander. Give it your best shot to win a new CommandMax sprayer from Homeright (reviewed in the latest issue of FWW--#220). The winner will be chosen, by me, on June 14.

To get ideas churning, here's Rollie with the first take: "Start your morning with a 60 grit caress."

Mr. Sandman, bring me a belt
Make it the smoothest that I've ever felt
I'll need two belts, one coarse and one finer
To make my sanding chores a good deal lighter

Don't have a sandbelt to call my own
Change these cards that I've been dealt,
Mr. Sandman, bring me a belt.

On the border of one's mind lies a place where dreams become reality.
I, in this shop, will take you there.
I will speak to you softly the secrets of my mind.
I will, with you, bring forth the subjects of my imagination.
