23 Professional Land Surveyors of Oregon |  www.plso.org Featured Article One Photo: Six Captions Lee Spurgeon, a PLS in Oregon and the Education and Outreach Committee Chairman of PLSO, submitted this as a tongue-in-cheek pick-your-own-caption.

If not, can we make it a real word for special occasions like this? Pipe: “I was set in 1936. The plat closed within two feet. My surveyor did an outstanding job!” Iron rod without a cap: “I was set in 1972 with a survey that closed within two tenths. My surveyor did an outstanding job!” Iron rod with a cap: “What were those two other idiot surveyors thinking?”
