Can anyone here guess who said that?

It has been many years since I last saw him. Haven't had a TV licence for over 10 years now and never bought the videos.

A metric spanner in America.

Please be advised that any US automotive tech worth his title has a most comprehensive set of metric spanners (wrenches) Every vehicle has metric fasteners even the American brands. I have had metric spanners for more than 50 years. I worked on German, Italian, Austrian, Swiss, and Japanese motorcycles. I also worked on Brit bikes which needed Whitworth spanners that were neither Imperial or metric. 

Whitworth hexagonal standards measured from corner to corner rather than the more sensible across the flats dimension. That is not all.....the damnable Whitworth threads had a different geometry than any other normally used form in the world. There is more.....The gauge standards for sheet metal and wires of the Brit way of measuring were and may still remain different from other international standards. In addition Brits still express their bodyweight in terms of stone.......WTF??

Hey, just teasing Tank.   ;)

I bet a one-legged man could still kick someone in the ass. Try it, stand on one leg, and then jump up and kick with the standing leg.

Might not be an ideal ass-kicker, but surely can kick some ass.

How about an ass-less man in an arse-kicking contest?
