All of those cleaners, wipes, mouth washes, soaps, detergents etc etc. etc that kill 99% of household germs.
It's the other 1% of the little bastards that I want to get.

It was the definition I was interested in.
A sawbuck is a definite type of "horse" Used for holding odd shaped logs whereas a saw horse is used as a trestle for cutting prepared timber.
If you really want to go back in history the "horse" got its name from copper smiths and leather workers who used it for securing work.
Some carvers also use a derivative.

They were still called horses.
We will always disagree so I see no sense in arguing over it.

What irritates me are those horrible plastic bubble packets that you can't get into. (There is a special tool you can buy at Bunnies to cut them open. Guess what type of packet the tool comes in?.... Correct!)

ROFL
I hate the bubble packed milk they give you on Qantas flights. They've been packed at atmospheric pressure so when you open them at 30000 feet the top is bulging and when you tear it off the milk sprays everywhere.
And while were bagging Qantas...theyve cut back on the crackers you get with your meal. You used to get 3 crackers and a big lump of cheese...now its two crackers and the same amount of cheese. You end up with cheese left over and no cracker to put it on....thats just unacceptable.
And the Qantas coffee?.....it tastes like the hosties have filtered it through their pantihose.Whatever note you blow youre never more than a semitone away from the correct one....(Miles Davis)
