A Small Threaded Hole is an optional extra
which you can select when acquiring any new
hand-held device. The hole is located at the
balancing point of the equipment and is kept
dust free by means of a neat little cap.
To make use of the hole, the owner of the
equipment screws into place
its
complimentary telescopic handle. This
converts the apparatus into a high-tech
hammer, which can then be used to self
destructively pound itself into a pile of
smithereens, at an appropriate moment of
dire frustration.

Is your iStawberryDeseeder giving you trouble? |

I like the thought of a small threaded hole (kinda makes me think polo mints) but your use for it has me baffled. |
|
| |
This deserves two croissants ! |
|
| |
You could provide this as a service. You would need to research a fairly large number of devices to know where you can drill a hole in each device, then bond a threaded bit to it. |
|
| |
Given the purpose of the hole, you don't really need it, do you? You could simply nail that telescopic handle on. |
|
| |
Maybe you should make a drawing for this, xenzag? |
|

DrCurry: But how would you pound in the nail, without a hammer? See? It's recursive, is what it is.
I really like po's idea of threaded polo mints, but have so far been unable to contrive a use for them. |

To attach them more firmly to the tip of the tongue? |

Jutta, You could start small and work your way up: |
|

Take one threaded polo mint, to make a small and fragile hammer. Use it to nail something slightly bigger to make a bigger hammer. Iterate until you can nail that telescopic handle onto the electronic equipment of your choice. Hammer away. Post your learning process on a blog, for world-wide interest. By the time you get to your expensive piece of equipment, your anger may have dissipated enough for you to reconsider destroying an expensive piece of equipment when you could have sold it to some other sucker on eBay and bought a different, less annoying (or at least differently annoying) replacement. |

Hang on, there's an idea forming, wait for it, AHA Polego, Polos which you can build stuff out of like 2x2 lego. |
|
| |
Now, if only there were different colours of polo or maybe some of a smaller size, hmm. |
|
| |
marklar, I think you're onto something there... here it comes... almost there... yes... AHA, sweetccano! The threaded polos make the wheels and gears (with added teeth), together with a variety of specially crafted sweets allow children to create their very own edible edifice, consumable construction, or delicious device. |

//(with added teeth), //
Love the irony there. |
|
| |
I'm going to post a seperate idea about sweets you can build stuff with (linked) rather than polute this idea any further. |
|

// AHA, sweetccano! // Meccandy, Shirley (despite the Americanism). |

Now, back to the idea at hand, if destruction is your raison d'etre, you could put the undesired object inside a slinky and push it down the stairs. |
