People don't work on things anymore. If something breaks they hire someone else to fix it or go out and replace it. Driving through the neighborhood on the weekends when the weather is nice you barely see a large tool box in a garage anymore.

What I found more shocking was the girl going to Georgetown, was majoring in Classics.
A 45k per year school to major in dead languages....that's why our country is fucked. |

My shop teacher always yelled at us if we called it a crescent wrench. He said it's an adjustable wrench, crescent is just a brand that makes or made them.

Its kind of funny.
How many blue collar workers have you ever met that are leftists? When the 21st century workers revolt happens, it will be against communism. Maybe the future isnt so bleak. |

So I was watching Jeopardy tonight. It's college week. They had a guy from Navy, a girl from Georgetown and a guy from Kentucky. Don't remember what the category was, but they showed a pic of a crescent wrench. None of them knew what it was. I was like, "What!" I couldn't believe none of them knew what it was. Come on! What's America coming to. Sad :( Clearly he's never taken "Tools and Their Misuse" or he would have known the answer was "What is a 12 Inch Crescent Hammer?"

My Dad asked is friend to get the metric crescent wrench from his tool box once, the guy looked for it forever. Hell, I'll confess. On my first day as a journeyman electrician, the foreman made me go get a wire stretcher. After looking for about minutes, the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I knew I had been duped. He laughed, I laughed as I chalked it up to the "yes sir!" mentality when you work for someone. He ended up throwing me lots of side work years later.... |

The correct answer is "adjustable wrench". If the clue writers were using an incorrect vernacular for the tool and basing the clue off of that, they were in the wrong. Unless, they were going for a colloquial name for "this tool". |

I watch the show a lot. My father, a machinist, always called them knuckle busters. After working on cars at a gas station for awhile, that's what I started calling them too.
I never use them if I don't nave to. |
