Very good! Too much water in the concrete and it does indeed fail this test.

My wife is a civil engineer, and when we had an addition built on our house wanted to perform a _____ test on the concrete that was being poured for the foundation. The concrete truck driver thought she was crazy!

Changing a plum usually involves turning it into a prune. I wasn't aware that that was a factor in economic depressions.

Ever looked at a prune? It has lots of depressions. ;)
