Move over MacGyver

Today at work I was looking through a magazine and saw this:
The Only Complete Swiss Army Knife.


This is the largest Swiss Army knife in the world, holder of the Guinness World Record for "The Most Multifunctional Penknife," with 87 precision-engineered tools spanning 112 functions. It has seven blades, three types of pliers, three golf tools, 25 flat- and Phillips-head screwdrivers and bits, saws, wrenches, and more. It also has a bicycle chain rivet setter, signal whistle, 12/20-gauge shotgun choke tube tool, combination fish scaler, hook disgorger, and line guide tool, cigar-cutting scissors, laser pointer, tire-tread gauge, toothpick, tweezers, and key ring. It will also make your bed and cook you breakfast.




With this and some duct tape I could rule the world.




It is incredibly appealing with all its gadgetry. But is it too big (3 1/4" L x 8 3/4" W. (2 3/4 lbs.))??? In a pinch, when it would come it handy, perhaps trying to use the tools off of it wouldn't be convenient at all!




(It is a mere $999 if anyone wants to get it for me, I will let you know how convenient it really is.)

Let it Flow

Today I was typing up the verbiage as my boss dictated what he wanted covered in our next news paper article. He mentioned that the pantries in the homes we build are spacious enough to fit everything after "Costco runs".

I frowned. He asked what was wrong and I told him it sounded to me like the free samples at Costco didn't agree with someone and they had the "Costco runs". Time for some Pepto bismol.

When you say that in front of your boss, well, it might be time to find a new job.


Don't worry. We changed the wording.
