Doesn't Labatt Blue have twist off caps?

They do, but it's really hard to twist.

Used to know a working class guy, a miner up in Sudbury. He could pop out his glass eye and use his eye socket as a bottle opener.

Funny you should say that. It isn't a lighter, but it's made by Zippo, a Company that makes lighters.

It is indeed a Zippo tape measure. I won it as an award. The closest thing I ever got to winning any kind of a trophy.

Looks like it stumped everyone.

It's a pad for the jaws of a C clamp, to prevent damage to your work.

Us middle class people that couldn't afford the fancy gadgets for our c clamps used hot pads from the kitchen to do the same thing.

We, in the working class, take pride in doing the job right and always having the right tool available for the job.
