More Than One Way to Skin a Cat!


There is more than one way to skin a cat!  Of course it's not politically correct to talk about skinning cats these days but you know what I mean.  There is the normal, proper, correct way to do things and then there  is the way you do it when it just has to be done.  You don't have the right tool to do the job correctly or even the knowledge to do it right but the task at hand must be completed so you do it.  That's where duct tape, paper clips, wire tires and gorilla glue really shine!

The picture below is an extreme case of thinking outside the box and finding another way to skin the proverbial cat.  The box must go into the trunk.  The trunk is way to small and the box is way to big.  So up with the lid, in with the box and fasten the trunk with a bungee strap or a piece of rope, right? Oops, you can't find the bungee strap that you keep in the trunk for just this purpose and there is no rope to be found.  You look around the car, on top of the car, in the car and under the car to no avail....Until you spot the car charger for your phone!  The car charger for your Phone?

Yep!  Look closely....that's exactly what they used....




By the way, that's not my box, car or phone charger!  I happened to see this in a parking lot and couldn't stop laughing.  I thought you all might get a kick out of it too!
