It has come to my attention that I made a typo in the following Reply:

<Martha,

Thanks ever so much for making the Great Unwashed aware of this wonderful
trinket from China.  It's a "good thing".  It is similar to one I saw about
40 years ago, but that one didn't have that thick layer of lustrous chrome.
One thing, Willi von Wiener, my mechanic, told me that if a wrench fits a 3/4
inch nut, then it is nearly 1/16 inch too large for a 19 mm nut.  So, do you
know if there is a matching pair of locking pliers to complete this ensemble?

It should read as follows:

One thing, Willi von Wiener, my mechanic, told me that if a wrench fits a 3/4
inch nut, then it is nearly 1/3 of 1/160 inch too large for a 19 mm nut.  So,
do you know if there is a matching pair of locking pliers to complete this
ensemble?

I must apologize for the error.  I saw my physician today who gave me the
depressing news that I was suffering from Beierl's Syndrome.  The diagnosis
of this malady is very difficult because, according to Dr. Feelgoode, its
sole symptom is a solitary brain fart occurring once during the lifetime of
the sufferer.  The disorder then enters a latency and the inflicted goes
through the rest of his life with no further symptoms.
