From the product spec sheet for a well known european tool maker:

"Features

•Handle markings
Handle markings include a screw symbol and the size of the tip to help you easily find the right screwdriver in your tool bag ..."

Really? A SCREW SYMBOL? So we know what a screwdriver...fits?

Yeash...have we gotton that dumb?

Rusty, Klein has for years marked the end of their screwdriver handles with a + or - to show if it was phillips or straight slot and the size showed the size of the tip.

1960s Japanese car owners manual, Do not exceed 100kph for break in period, do not exceed 150kph driving in icy conditions, especially in mountains. Why would I want to drive in snow and ice in the mountains at that speed anyway?

Reminds me of an old blond joke.

Girlfriend: Why do you have T.G.I.F magic markered on the top of your panty hose?
Blond: Toes Go In First

I remember the day the Safety-Kleen guy came by the shop to put a warning on the parts washer-
