    Looks like Nick hasn't lost his sense of humour;)

    .>>>

    You people are so missing out. How come no-one's taken these yet?

    Yes, you could endure a patience-testing curse-perfecting experience
    with these 2 all-new drill bits

    * With special fake flutes to not remove any debris. Helps ensure
    clog & jam, and prevent the 'Cutting Tip'* from contacting anything
    but loose debris.
    * 'Cutting Tip' is a trademark for our special patented edgeless
    rubbing tip
    * Narrow shaft helps avoid positional stability & encourage crater
    formation
    * Narrow shaft may be used with sufficient force to achieve banana
    shaped holes. If you're very lucky.
    * Special monkey metal tip inserts designed to grind down during the
    first inch of use, thereby resulting in a cleverly tapering hole
    * Self regrinding feature auto-reshapes the bit on contact with
    anything resembling cement. Or brick, stone, and most other building
    materials.
    * Regrinding tool not included, will be needed apx every inch of
    progress.
    * Ridiculometer not included, you will have to guess on this point as
    you go along. After the first half hour you should be getting there
    on your estimate. After the 1 hour mark (on your first hole), you
    should be spot on.
    * Long 1/4 hole life is ideally suited to a pack of 3 bits.
    * Famous 'Sucker' brand drills

    This pack of 3 will save you from:
    * the expense of purchasing a real drill
    * the satisfaction of drilling a hole and knowing it was a sensible
    thing to do
    * sanity
    * ever making such a stupid tool choice again
    * breaking through to the other side of the wall.
    * ever completing your silly project

    There are actually 3 in the pack, but one could not technically be
    described as a drill any more, due to its use to drill part of a
    hole. Perhaps it could be used as an ornament,

    Yes, you too could be one of the many proud owners that bought these
    things, and then found out the hard way just how bad a tool could
    really be.

    With special money back guarantee, conditional on not using the goods
    of course. Once you have, you might think the kitty's out of the bag,
    but by then you've clearly used & abused it to make various holes,
    and we're thus are immune from any comeback under the Drills
    Misdisfunctions Act.

    Geographical location probably unimportant, but if you're really keen
    to exoerience these drills, I could let you know where to collect
    them. And where the Lakes is.

    Nick
