Dusty Devil Dale Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Needs a couple stray bolts, nuts, a nail or two (one bent) screw eyes, rotten rubber bands, a couple zip ties, and a handful of keys that no longer fit anything. Maybe also a faucet washer or two. And the knife sheath -- don't forget the knife sheath for the knife long ago lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 When my wife and I got married we received some nice gifts. But the coolest gift that we received was a galvanized bucket full of things, useful things that one might find in a junk drawer…along with a useful bucket. There were corks, rubber stoppers, assorted rubber bands, a screwdriver with different tips, cork screw, bottle opener, can opener, a box of assorted screws and nails, doodads and gadgets that came in so handy over the years. Basically, it was a starter junk drawer in a bucket. It was the best gift we received. We just didn’t know that until years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 And a business gimme or tourist trap key ring. No keys on it, just the ring and the fob. (Do NOT put the loose mystery keys on it. As soon as you do, you'll find that you need one of the keys and you'll have to fight to get it off of the ring. Or you'll need the ring for something.) Don't forget the odd gaming pieces- Monopoly hotels, 6 sided dice, etc...- and a couple of marbles you picked up out of the yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Don’t forget a cheap non functioning flashlight, about $3-$4 in loose change and a couple of mechanical pencils with no graphite in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because you needed the ring for something and remembered the gimme key ring in the junk drawer. See? What did I tell you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 The funny thing is probably everyone here got up and looked in their own junk drawer. I know I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
