So does that mean a her with a screwdriver becomes a him? ?:|

(sly grin) Does a Swiss army knife qualify for the screwdrivers club? Mine's got a medium and a baby screwdriver on it and I never go anywhere without it! Oh, and the knife is quite handy too, you know, but not quite as much as the screwdrivers. ;-) And like Heather with her screwdriver, everyone always wants to borrow mine.

When we came back from Bali last May (2001) I had the SAK in my purse and no one said anything after it went thru the xray. But a woman 10 minutes afterwards got the full drill when they saw a Stanley knife ("box cutter") in her bag. They tried to sting her for a $US1,000 fine but after 30 minutes she managed to talk her way out of it and they just confiscated it.

Remember, this was pre 11/9 but I'm still amazed that they let me thru with mine. Very glad they did though, because we secure the bag zips with those plastic electrical ties instead of "padlocks" and I would have had a hell of a job getting them off on arrival at Bali without my SAK. :D

But back to screwdrivers.....

58178 2002-06-30 03:22:00 Well MY swiss army knife went around the world without problems - and picked up a handy little screwdriver that screws into the corkscrew - in Switzerland. The screwdrivers, volt meter and digital camera in my handbag come and go but the swiss army knife goes on forever.... Heather P (163)
58179 2002-06-30 03:36:00 Wheeeeeee......!! you live and learn ! And I thought my Swiss Army Knife was meant for gutting fish and dressing rabbits, taking the corks out of wine bottles Oh, Oh, Oh,...on my next trip to ??? (I'll take a screwdriver). Bill. ]:) Bill Lester (675)
58180 2002-06-30 03:58:00 Heather: that's the baby screwdriver that I was referring to, the one in the corkscrew . Man that's so handy for tightening sunnies' screws!


> . . . . and dressing rabbits

Dressing rabbits??!!

Why the hell do you dress your rabbits?! And what do your rabbits wear?!

Aren't you supposed to skin them? :D :D

58183 2002-06-30 08:47:00 This gets worse!! Old screwdrivers never fade away, they end up in the bottom of the toolbox. I reckon the first driver I bought back in 1954 was better than todays. It wasn't made where the "Kiwi Fruit" first came from.

58184 2002-06-30 09:30:00 I feel totally deprived, or am I missing something? I have only one screwdriver.
But can someone tell me please, why do all my friends call the damn thing a hammer?
