You know the acronym 'fuct'? I like that one :lol:
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

A lad on site had one this summer. Every time he went to use it like a hammer, he almost cut his wrist open with the crow bar. Really bad balance and a lot smaller than you expect it to be. Another Stanley gimmick that pushes a trusted brand towards the edge of the pit of mediocrity!!!

and going by carhartt kid's comment, a 'Stanley Fubar' sounds a very appropriate name :lol:
