Question Holmes On Homes

Understand I love the show, "Holmes On Homes." Even with his usual expectations of home inspectors to have x-ray vision. I noticed something on the show. Let me walk you through my thoughts.... brace yourself:

What does the word "Oh" sound like? The long "O" sounds.

Ok, now what does the letter "H" sounds like? The H sounds right? Sure.

Ok, on Mike's truck, he has a personalized license plate: "HOH" so with the "H" sound combined with the long "O" sound from "OH", what is he saying about himself?

Never wrestle with a pig (however titled) as you just get dirty and the pig has all the fun.

I just found out that Mike Holmes and I attended the same middle school! He is 5 years younger than I so we didn't cross paths. I read a recent and interesting article about the teachers that influenced him.
Here are the choices; Woodworking Shop Teacher<Machine Shop Teacher< Home Room Teacher<or The Music Teacher?

Take a wild guess!!

Lowe's is going to be huge in Canada or at least Ontario. I know of two locations that will be opening soon. One is near you in Belleville, Hwy62 and 401. Maybe they will give The Home Depot a run for their money because Rona is not. Did I tell you I hate monopolies?

Mario,

You're story would be better if you said, "yeah he was 5 years younger than me, and I took his lunch money everyday. Having money difficulties, he became a garden tool used to weed and cultivate."

You hit the nail on the head but she is a nice Lady.
The other teacher that influenced him is the music teacher again very nice man but you would think it would be the shop teachers. I know both of our shop teachers are great guys and they both had an influence on me.

BTW for my Canadian (Torontonian) fellow members I attended Queen Alexander Middle School (downtown Toronto) located in the inner City.
