    had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

    more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future
    becomes.

    to disconnect.

    PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER:
    Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening

    can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw
    heads.

    Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons
    delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such
    as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector

    useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.

    Son of a b**** TOOL:
    Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling
    'Son of a b****' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the
    next tool that you will need.
