Humpday Triviola

Generally lumber of a low grade used to separate and bind ship cargo; stakes, strips and other pieces that are needed in holding and protecting merchandise on railroad cars and truck shipments.

What is the general term for this lumber?

Oddly enough they are called sticks

Our lowest value sawlog trees here will go for pallet wood. WAG would be crate wood? Thanks for the question

Not the term I seek.

Sticks might be a term some would use. I am not familiar with it though. Anyway, there is a traditional term that I am seeking. Try again!

Using the same methodology that 2001 Space Odyssey gets IBM from Hal I am going to guess the correct term to be:

EVOOBHF

Wrong Spelling but RIGHT answer!

The word I sought was Dunnage. Well done!

Re: Wrong Spelling but RIGHT answer!

Wait a minute! I demand my share of the golden uni! If you subtract one letter from each letter in EV00BHF (i.e. IBM to Hal) what do you get? And I even spelled it right (in my own convoluted way). I've never even had a share of a golden uni before (sniff sniff). PLEASE, can't I just get a little sliver of the golden uni. It would be the first thing I ever won in my poor, pathetic, downtrodden life.

Oh...like I speak IBMese? ;-)

My humble apologies for not being fluent in HAL language. So in light of your explanation I do feel compelled to have an additional Golden Uni cosmolined for shipping to YOU!

Oh, thank you, thank you. I will treasure it always. It will go up on my mantle along with my books "Code of Ethics for Lawyers" and "The Amish Phonebook" since these two don't take up much space.

Just don't forget to polish it every so often. ;-)
