Fix Anything with These

10/27/2010 6:24 PM

I have come up with a list of basics that should be in everyones tool box or kitchen drawer. They are

1. duct tape;

2. WD-40;

3. JB Weld;

4. Bondo.

5. Crazy glue

These are the five I can think of. With them, you can fix just about 99% of what needs fixin.If you have others that you think are indispensible, please add them to the list.

1. candles

2. matches

3. acoustic guitar strings

4. GLS

5. anti septic ointment

6. pain killers

7. several passports in different names

8. deck of cards

With those in place I'll have enough to barter my way out of a tight spot, Ky.

Bondo? - Seriously?

Add a pocket knife or razor knife to the list after you actually add all other much needed tools such as a flat screwdriver and a phillips screwdriver.

Condoms and a few bottles of good alcohol.

Drink the alcohol and get it on with - then you don't care if it is fixed or not.
