Yes, the Leatherman. I had an original engraved Father's Day '95 and it was stolen out of my truck (probably by the next door neighbor kid). I now have another of the next generation and it is NOT ANYTHING like the first generation.

Okay here's another.

A banana that you can't open by just physically cracking the neck. Here you are sitting comfortably expecting that you can consume natures most convenient snack food with little fuss. You tug on the stem and it just collapses with the authority of Fort Knox. You actually have to get a knife to get that bad boy open. Here's where the Leatherman comes in handy.

Newspapers delivered rolled up with the sections turned everywhich way. This requires the reader to spend five minutes rearranging the paper so that you can peruse the contents.

When eating an apple and getting a nearly microscopic piece of apple skin stucked between your molars, making it feel as if a brick chisel had just been placed in the area by means of using a hammer.

People saying that rain is horrible weather. What?! Who decided that rain was horrible and sun was nice weather? Id much rather it be dull and drizzly than hot and sunny.
