That made me chuckle, thought I share. I put this in sports because I didn't want to use a more serious forum space for it. I'm still chuckling.
It would appear that she has no idea what she is doing... I'll offer to "show her the ropes"....
Well, I guess if we were talking about sport f... eh, nevermind, this is a PG-rated forum.
No Conan.... look at the pic closely. it is obvious that she is using a "flat-head" and should be using a philips screwdriver... what did you think I meant?
I always wondered about the phillips screwdriver.
Does a guy named Phillip actually own my screwdriver?

Henry Phillips did, up until 1948.
In case you're playing trivial pursuit.
I do know the story about how he patented it.
Why do we continue to call it that?
The Japanese call it a "plus" screwdriver which is much better.
The Japanese do not have an "F" sound in their language, so it would just sound goofy to call it Phillips in the middle of a Japanese sentence.
I do not mind paying homage to someone who enables underpaid Indonesians to cheaply assemble computer components quickly.
and while we are at it, who was the guy that invented the nifty reversible screw drivers? With 2 sizes of flat and plus screw heads? I love that man.
Also, why do we still call Coca-Cola "Coca" anything? That's false advertisement.
Way to go guys... take a totally mindless thread full of folly and turn it into something serious by actually teaching us something...[:D]
I was going to say that Paris thinks the title is accurate and doesn't get the joke, but she has that video..

Phillips screwdriver is a favorite drink around retirement centers.
Milk of magnesia, splash of OJ, and vodka.
