36" long plastic gloves

[toratora]

Hi All,
From a veterinary supply house, I bought a box of plastic gloves that are 36" inches long. They are exam gloves for large animals. I thought they would be handy for painting to keep over spray off my arms and to use in my paint box. If anyone is interested in a pair, they are fifty cents a pair, that's cheap! I have not used them yet and doubt they could stand to be dipped in thinner. The box says they are made of a recyclable polythen product. Hopefully over spray won't eat them up quickly.
Just to make this fun and interesting, :DI will give away two free pair if you can answer this dumb joke:

What do you call a guy who has his arm up a horses butt clear to his shoulder? ;D

Answer: -n ----h --c----c

Have fun

When Greg originally posted the puzzle I had no idea and basically gave up. When he posted the additional clue letters I figured out the word "Amish". The capital "A" and the horse reference helped. I still had no clue what the last word was, although I kind of figured out the direction the joke was taking. I went online for help. I found a dictionary site. It had a tool, basically for crossword puzzle users, that did a search for all 8 letter words with the known letter distribution that we were given. By the way, I think Greg owed us one additional "A" (in mechanic) when he gave us the first two "A's". Also, the other two eight letter words that fit the known letter distribution are "decanoic" and "tectonic".

FYI - I don't pay for the 36" gloves for painting ... I use the free ones my newspaper deliverer gives me every morning with my newspaper! Guess I'm cheap.
