Thats funny right there. But I do have a similar story. I was on a trout trip and brought my own tying bench and materials and soon learned I was out of my favorite hackel. Well low and behold the place I was lodging had stuffed ducks on the walls, well guess what I had gone done. I had two new quills in my bench and caught a ton of trout to boot. No one knew. I guess if you have missing holes in your tablecloth one might notice.

You can use old cotton bedsheets, encourage the wife to go get a new set and you can keep the old one. I still have enough left over from sheets 3 years ago.
