I've gotten some strange presents for Christmas over the years, probably we all have. One year I got a case of some kind of imported Amazon jungle berry juice. I looked it up on the web and it goes for 15 bucks a bottle!
But this year I got a ......... electric crescent wrench! The thought was sincere, but holy crap, an electric wrench?
So, did anyone else get any weird gifts? [ December 26, 2007, 08:37 AM: Message edited by: NASA ]

Hell with the wrench, did that jungle juice improve your love life?
Getting back to the wrench; the ******* that invented it should have his ass kicked.
Good hunting. LB

One year when I was a kid, and not very nice, I got a coffee can full of rocks for Christmas. Guess my Dad couldn't find any coal...

Leonard, I haven't had a noticeable "love life" for the last 7 years. It's gonna' take more than jungle berries to jump start this old engine.

I have two good friends that recently invested in the "Amazon Jungle Berry" business. They're making anywhere between $14,000 and $21,000 a WEEK (5 day week) on sales right now as lead marketing reps for the "Multi-level Marketing Campaign" which translates to old style PYRAMID SCHEME.
My parents are one of the largest U.S. producers of "Wolf Berry" which is a primary ingredient in the product. While they're income isn't quite as staggering as the "Marketing" folks... life is good down on the homeplace.
What used to sell for $15 a bottle probably now costs $20 an ounce. A 2006 cancer research changed the market in a big way... I'm sure the cresent wrench folks are waiting on the Arthritis testing and Carpal Tunnel statistics! LOL!
All I got was a couple of these... took forever to unwrap.

Couple years back my wife got me a battery powered tape measure. You push a button to extend the tape. It's heavy and it is actually slower than a manually operated one. It sits completely unused.
Hey NASA, ground red deer antlers mixed with your "Wheaties" will help.
