I have often been amazed and sometimes amused on many folk's attempts to
describe a tool for sale on the web. If these folks just did a web search
with their description, they would find out in a hurry that there is no such
tool. But I saw something this morning on craigslist that was funny.
They were describing a big truck with a small crane on the back. It came
with an auger attachment. And that is not all. On the front of the truck
was, and I quote, "a big wench". LOL I thought that craigslist didn't do
those types of ads any more. Since I am a literal person, I immediately got
a visual of the truck mounted big wench. And promptly determined it would
take a unique type of individual to equip his truck in this fashion.
OK Lee, back to work.

Just curious. Would you have to move the whole truck to get the wrench to
turn or what?
