We have the modern phrase to add: "In the hands of your average bankster, Supreme Court Justice, or Congressman, the pen is deadly, indeed!"

If I lived back in the Wild West days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like, "Hey look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink.

And don't forget the WD-40.



Somewhere I have the Universal Repair Flow Chart for which the ultimate answer is either duct tape or WD-40. A surprising number of cases one or the other will fix a problem.

Duck tape

If ya can't fix it with that, to hell with it.
