Wench!!! Hey passerby, can you offer me a fix? Why yes, madame, but first you have to become my girlfriend, ha ha, no that's just a joke, but really, my electromagnetic disrupter sure does work well on this un-policed road, er, I mean, let's take a ride in *my* car to go get a toe f*ck, I mean truck. My name is Norman, but you can call me Mister Bates. Wrench? Wench!!! Hey passerby, can you offer me a fix?

It's quite obvious that, being a woman, she clearly has no idea what it could be or how to use it. I'm being facetious, of course. My wife recently replaced the rear differential in our '75 Land Cruiser FJ40, but made me do the plugs since sparkplugs are so much nastier and troublesome to women, just like the article states. Sheesh. Well, as they say, "You've come a long way, baby." (But not so far that they've stopped calling you "baby.") So why do they picture the woman in the ad with a wrench?
