    Sometimes a letter can mean a huge difference. For example: Would you rather be a famous rapper or a famous raper?

    Well....actually, most of the painters I know are "scrapers" from time to time.

    If you know how many microwaves will fit in your trunk, you might be a scrapper.
    If you absolutely can not bring yourself to throw away a soda can, you might be a scrapper.

    You might be a scrapper if you go to your friend's birthday party and for some reason you come home with an engine block.

    You might be a scrapper when you can guess how much the weight of your truck with scrap in it by stepping on the back bumper before ya leave to the yard

    Don't we already have a thread like this??? If your pants leg keeps sticking to the side of your truck doe to the magnets in your pockets you might be a scrapper. If your wife makes you shake the paint chips out of your hair before you come in the house, you might be scraper.

    You might be a scrapper if.... no matter how many times you tell your grandma what you do for a living, she still doesn't understand and thinks you sell things to make money.

    You might be a scrapper if...your car hasn't been parked in the garage for years because it's too full of metal....you've got the Sanford and Son theme as your ringtone on your cellphone....your wife brings you home "presents" she picked up off the curb and you're just as excited as you would have been if they came from a store....you never need to go to the hardware store for a nut, bolt, screw or nail....you remember which houses have been the sites of particularly big scores....you've disassembled more TVs than you can count....
