I'm about as handy as...

I'm trying to make a crack at myself and am in need of help. I'm looking for a good ending to the metophor above.

you see, I'm the antithesis of bob vila. I can put together a computer w/out any problems - yes I am a geek. however, my greatest power tool (no puns, please :D ) is my checkbook. my best example; the little bong thing in my toilet broke and water kept filling in the chamber. and reaching over to turn on/off the pipe was entirely too much of a hassle after realeasing the urinal pressure off the inner walls of my bladder. not knowing what to do, I pulled in a maguyver (sp?). you can, infact, jury rig a toilet with a screwdriver (the tool, you lushes!) and a bottle of aspirin. after my temporary fix I had to call in the big guns. thanks mom, you rock.

I can, at the bare minimum, use any variation of a screwdriver will relative ease. past that, you're talking an act of gawd for me to get anything done. though I do wield a chainsaw with superb dexterity. :)

so come on, cut me down. I welcome it.

ween..all you need to be "handy" is a can of WD40 and a roll of duct tape...if it doesn't move and it should, use WD40. If it moves and it shouldn't, in comes duct tape.

Very handy, they both are... learn to use them you will.
