Quiz: Left-Hand Threads
Quiz for the day:
Left-hand threads (clockwise = loosen, counter = tighten) are not that common. But most of us have at least one left-hand thread in the house. What is it? (Hint: not in the garage.) P.S. This may not apply outside of the US.

Alan wins!
It is the most common-place left-hand thread around. Not everyone has an acetylene tank, but everyone has a toilet - I hope.

Strut tower brace clasps. Well, that's in the garage, not the house. And they turn the other way in Australia.

any thread is left handed if you crank hard enough with the wrench. I have converted a number of right to left in my life. Flush with those sucesses, I'm thinking of trying to convert some lesbians. Didn't bell have a barrel of the awhile back?

Yeah, what happened to "more fun than a barrel of lesbians"? Did bell's car get less fun? Or did his lesbians get more fun?
To the PC police: nostatic started it.
