I would rather have been born with the silverspoon...than the silver ratchet...
Look a all the fun I would have missed...

Okay, now I'm interested in the "tuna can to ring" concept--but I don't like tuna, would any other can work okay, or does it need the smell of tuna to work correctly???????? Also, I'm guessing this doesn't work on Stihl's since all parts have to be bought from a dealer!!!!
