How about the P38 can opener. We used these to open C-Rations.

I finally went with a high and tight crew cut, so brushes and combs are useless now.

Just like the old retractable, metal tape measures. The newfangled ones have a retraction brake so you don't lose a finger or two when the tape is retracting at the speed of sound.

The will never know the sweet relief of surviving a 25 foot, spring driven retraction with all fingers intact. This is a deprived generation.

How are you, love?

Generally speaking, we still have hair. The problem is that it stops growing in one place and starts growing somewhere else.

Hanging in there, MK. How are you doing?

Looking forward to clock change this weekend, when my sunny disposition returns and my evil twin is banished until November. I hate that bitch. Now I just need the forsythia to bloom. It makes me happy to see yellow bushes everywhere.

I felt it was for the general good of everyone to grab a medical-ish photo and share for those who may be confused about the general concept.

Everyone can thank me later.
