When I was younger, I had a paper route.
It was by no means a fun job. In fact, it damn near permanently damaged my spine, but it had some perks. Free samples galore and enough discount coupons to last the two weeks in which they were valid.

Anyway, one day, while offloading some junk mail into some ones mailbox (labelled ‘No Junk Mail’) I found a Leatherman (multi-tool, for those not aware) lying on the footpath. I immediately scooped up my bounty and ran for home, throwing my papers into a shrub along the way.

It wasn’t until I got home that I learnt that it was both broken and contained something that looked quite a bit like dried blood.

One of the knives was bent so that it wouldn’t be properly used, but aside from that it was working rather well. So, I did what any fourteen year-old would do and kept it. Given the way in which it was in the very middle of the footpath and the rather questionable nature of it, I thought it may have been some sort of murder weapon. So that was nice.

Still have it. I use the pliers quite often to pull hair out of moles.

Good call with the moles
You get some right funny looks when you take them to the dog groomer.

moles?
As in animals or as in hairy freckles?

The freckly kind.
They're too small to shave individually.

assuming that it is a genuine one
life time guarentee means that you can send it in for a refurb

Never thought of that. I shall have to do so.
