Thinking back on this topic I now realize I made more than one assumption here.I assumed that once the store shelves are empty that you can't buy steel wool and 9 volt batteries either.I assumed that most people don't know about the scrap iron on the roads and streets of the USA(in the form of small particles).I assumed that there would be enough pure iron in the sample to start a fire.So here are three more assumptions I made.triffid

I would prefer to use flint rocks and dry tender myself to start a fire.triffid

When making assumptions it makes an a** out of both you and me.
I heard that at work a lot.triffid

I heard a similar one the the USAF:
Beware of "assume"; otherwise it can make an "A$$" out of "U" and "Me".
(Hence: "Assume".)

triffid,
WilbyInebriated goes out of his way to try and prove how smart he is, and try not to come off as sounding like a schmuck.

He doesn't succeed; he pisses most people off, and I don't answer his posts or PM him at all.  The reason should be obvious.  I don't encourage him.

He's.  One.  Hell.  Of.  A.  Schmuck.

denied. logical fallacy.  if you have a point to debate about something i posted... great, i'm your huckleberry. that would however, require a cogent argument from you big minok, something you are not too proficient at...
