Like sh1t off a ...

Post by Bearbonesnorm »

Here's today's dual use item.

Is it a trowel

Image

Or is it a guard for the downtube?

Image

It's on and off in a second or two, plenty secure enough as a mudguard and plenty strong enough as a trowel. It comes in at 70g but I reckon you could knock 20g off that but doing so would make it less viable as a guard and trowel :wink:

That's actually pretty neat

Add another hole and it'll have a third use as a ground anchor in soft conditions

That's the second of those I've seen :wink: but the other can also be used as one of those wee saddle mudguards.

AFAIK you are not meant to poo on the trowel.

Frying a sausage on a poo trowel - what a good idea. Wonder how many burns of a meths stove you'd need. Can you do a teflon coated one Stu?

Uhm, non-stick poo trowel.

Well, it appears I now need to produce a poo trowel, mudguard, frying pan hybrid :-bd

Sigh. Poor Stu. Yet another perfectly sound and sensible thread sacrificed on the Altar Of Absurdity. This lockdown is getting to us :smile: .

I've seen Madagascar so I believe I am an expert on simian behaviour. Monkeys throw their poo, usually to create a distraction. This is in fact the origin of the expression 'when the sub standard hits the fan' Thusly, no trowel will be required for Ralph

Knowing This Place as I now do, I can predict with some accuracy EXACTLY what is coming next on this thread.

If monkeys have fans, where do they plug them in?
