They were no different from any other paper hangers, they were all disloyal. I tried to run the business properly, by the book, but they fought me at every turn. The crew wanted to walk around with their shirt tails hanging out, that’s all right, let them. Take the plumb line, defective equipment, no more, no less. But they encouraged each other to go around scoffing at me, and spreading wild rumors about my eye sight, and then old four-eyes. I was to blame for their incompetence and poor hanging skills. They were the perfect paper hangers, but not me. Ah, but the strawberry wallpaper, that’s, that’s where I had them, they laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, with geometric logic, that a duplicate roll did exist, and I’ve had produced it if they hadn’t parked the truck in a tow away zone. I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow paper hanger. Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory. If I left anything out, why, just ask me specific questions and I’ll be glad to answer them, one by one.
There was a time when wallpaper was very popular and I put up quite a lot. Then I got smart and got rid of it all. Well, all but a couple of border strips, and they don’t cause me any trouble. Everything else is painted.

Ever hang wallpaper?
Now that’d look ridiculous! – I use the dryer.
@Elliot: Watch “It” with your Mom as she tells you (“Watch it!”) – then you’ll love the wallpaper and she’ll hate it.
( I hate nowadays’ clowns, too.)

If you can’t get exactly what you want – then hold off until you can.
