Sometimes I'm so foolish I have to laugh at myself. We just bought a 7-drawer rattan dresser for Mom's use. It came unassembled. "How hard can it be," I said to myself. After a couple of missteps I managed to get the frame together correctly, but then came the drawers. Each side had to be screwed to the back and front, and the bottom piece had to be screwed onto each of the four sides. Each drawer, then, needed fifteen screws.
I got the first one put together and only then did I remember that a couple of Christmases ago my brother-in-law gave me a power drill to replace the one he'd "borrowed" about ten years back. I began to wonder if it could be used as a screwdriver and whether it had a Phillips-head bit. So I dug it out. You know what the thing is called by Black & Decker?
A cordless screwdriver.
That's right. It doesn't even have drill bits, just two screwdriver bits.
Sheesh.
