Another True Leatherman Tale!

I work in a white collar, office world. So, my colleagues think it's strange that I carry my Leatherman™ on my belt at all times. Little do they know how useful this tool can be in an office environment... So, I'm in the bathroom, going #1. I finish, go to wash my hands, only to glance down and realize that my pants zipper had broke. The right row of teeth had become separated from the zipping mechanism! Thinking about what to do, I figured my only hope was to sneak out to my car with my fly undone, head home and get a new pair of pants. But that's when I remembered my Leatherman™! I dashed into an empty bathroom stall and whipped out the Cabelas Leatherman Blast™. In a few minutes, using the pliers and flat head screwdriver, I had pried open the zipping mechanism, squeezed it shut on the separated zipper, and saved the day. Sorry, no photo will be sent with this tale.
