I remember seeing a spanner (from the good old days ) and it read, "Pull like a b***tard, till elbow clicks"... an early torque wrench ?

I bought a double edge razor the other month from china, and this was the writing on the box:

Needlessly load and unload shaver
Inimitable rotating handle

Weishi attend entirely luster.

Nobleness: Made of noble cuprum metal and apply advanced computer product line proceeding superficies plating disposal.


I had to look up what inimitable meant
