The Right Tool for the Job...

One of the most important lessons I want to teach Braeden is to use the right tool to get a job done. Don't use a screwdriver when a pair of pliers is called for. Don't use a broom to clean up spilled milk etc...

However, there is one tool that doesn't really fit into any category - the Stanley FUBAR. Yes it's actually called the FUBAR.



I've looked longingly at this modern masterpiece ever since I saw a full page ad in Sports Illustrated 2 years ago. But it's one of those things you never buy for yourself, much like new underwear (wait, is that just me?) So I jumped at the chance to buy it for my Brother-In-Law recently and then stand over his shoulder saying "that wall doesn't need to be there." "Who really needs 3 toilets in their house?"

I finally got through to him when the microwave quit working. Sure, it could have been unplugged, but we'll never really know will we?



That's right Braeden, if you're keeping score,

Stanley FUBAR - 1 ; Common Sense - 0

Definitely the right tool for the job!
