      Do you have any vampires that need killing?

      Looks like a square peg didn't want to go in a round hole. Must not have had that test for apprentices back then.
      I build furniture etc with pegs & curious why this isn't even close to square. Of course pegs are made slightly oversize, - but not that oversize! Maybe an unfinished peg?
      I discount the vampire idea only because it isn't long enough unless a very skinny vampire.
