You haven't seen the 5-blade version for a closer shave.
ReplyDeleteBottom right would be perfect for preparing crudité platters!

Don't judge me,man!
Umm, yeah, I'll have the shaved queen with the spotted dick.

You people can clearly not recognize a pipe organ transplant device. The cutout is for the organist, who must maintain the bellows during the procedure.
ReplyDeleteThere is, of course, a special attachment for the carillon stops, but isn't there always?

ReplyDeleteThe bottom left one might produce interesting results.
ReplyDeleteI would hate for anyone to say that we don't give John Ptak enough credit.
