Heh, cute graphics. Here's the text:

Unbeknownst to most Americans, a Danger lurks in our homes. As common as a clothespin but as deadly as a snake, many look directly at it without realizing the menace in their midst.

Yes, friends, we are talking about Full Auto Assault Tools. Studies have shown that the MAJORITY of American homes have at least ONE of these devices in them already, with more being added all the time, thanks to efforts by the Tool Lobby to promote their ownership. Power tools- in the hands of unskilled and unlicensed users- kill a tremendous number of people each year- maiming most, electrocuting the remainder. Many of the victims are children.

There are so many hazardous and dangerous tools out there that we had to split the web site up into several pages just to hold them all, and more come in every day. Hopefully, with your support, we can rid our country of the menace of unlicensed tools. Remember...

Unlicensed knives and other sharp instruments are used to kill. These should be allowed in public hands ONLY upon the public passing a training and licensing program. :)

I say, Give the power tools to the moms and let them do the work, I'll take the dog for a walk.

I recomend a 3 day waiting period before getting a torque wrench or a Phillips screwdriver...or at least put a lock on them that can only be opened by a qualified mechanic. :)

A background check should be required before purchase of knives, forks, sharp instruments and power tools. People with conviction records may not use sharp instruments and must eat with their hands. :)

And straws should be banned because someone might lose an eye in a spitwad fight.

As my Dad used to say:

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

To which I would respond:

Then it's still fun and games, only you just can't see as well.

Good Grief! If this is the case, does this include my electric can opener and personal toys, and if so, who is going to instruct and license me so I can use them!!!!
