Last week I was at the Middle East oil exhibition with some physics students looking at physicsy things. As usual there were loads of free gifts being dished out and I managed to get my hands on, amongst other things, two USB memory sticks. Very useful I hear you say. Very, I say.
The special thing about these memory sticks was that they came in small metal tins with a little window in the lid and the tins were two different sizes. Now I don't expect the women readers to understand but all men will be thinking, wow, how useful is that. Two little tins with windows in the lid, they'll come in handy. The excitement starts to build as you try to envisage what might go in there. If nothing else they will make a welcome addition to the "man drawer".
Anyway, women being women and Sheila being as woman as they come states that there is no usefulness in such an item and suggests the bin. Aghast I reply, "no way, they'll be handy for something". She says, "if you haven't found a GOOD use for them before we move they are in the bin".
OK challenge set, I KNOW I will find a good use before then. I made a few tentative suggestions all of which were poo pooed and then, I am very proud to announce, I found the perfect solution. It was so good I decided I had to share it with you all and I took a picture for posterity. You'll see the perfect solution below
What goes in the big tin?
The little tin!!!!
PERFECT!!
Must get ready for work now, contented and happy, the tins are safe. Better ideas may be submitted on the back of a BD20 note.
