skydiver30960 0 #31 March 29, 2009 Dude (or rather, dudeette) what the hell did you do to your toilet that you needed visegrips to fix it, and broke them? FIBER! You need more fiber! Elvisio "terminal turd" Rodriguez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #32 March 29, 2009 Quote Quote So how do you break a pair of Vise Grips? Yea! How!?! I'll tell you how: Either it's not a real VICE GRIP® brand tool or it's too small for the job (about 4" over-all). My new favorite tool: I checked-out the picture you posted and it reminded me of a recent news story. Seems as though, a couple in Ohio, decided to be a bit more 'adventurous' with their love-making. The man got out his battery operated reciprocating saw and attached a large plastic 'adult toy' to it. Well, long story short, the saw blade worked through the 'adult toy' and para-medics were called and the woman, at last report, was still in the hospital.

DavidB 0 #33 March 29, 2009 UPDATE: Bloody Tragedy in Lexington Park LEXIINGTON PARK - 3/11/2009 Printer friendly .show-ul ul{ list-style-type:disc; padding-left:25px; } .show-ul ul ul{ list-style-type:circle; } UPDATE March 11, 1:30 p.m. On March 9, the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a Lexington Park, Maryland woman, reportedly aged 27, who was flown to Prince George’s Hospital for an injury which occurred on March 8, as a result of a sexual act involving the use of a reciprocating saw. The original 911 call was dispatched as a medical emergency. St. Mary’s County Bureau of Criminal Investigation Detectives conducted an investigation which determined the injury was a result of a consensual act between two parties and no crime was committed. At approximately 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, March 8, units from Bay District Fire Department and Lexington Park Rescue Squad responded to a call for a woman bleeding in Lexington Park. A man told authorities that he had placed a sex toy on a saber saw blade and that the blade had sawed through the plastic and severely wounded the woman. Trooper 7 transported the woman to PG Hospital. The case remains under investigation at this time. No word on the condition of the woman at this time. This happened in western Maryland, not Ohio. Must have left a nasty gash... When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
