I told my bride that there was only one thing I really wanted (for the

I wanted one particular tool.
A tool that isn't commonly available any longer.
A tool that has been so cheapened over the years that using one is, at
best, a singularly unpleasant experience.
A tool that, (if they only made them like they used to), the using of
which would be everything using a great tool is _supposed_ to be.

When she asked what I _really_ wanted, I looked her straight in the
eye and said:

"Alice, I want a pencil sharpener."

Oh, I thought you were going to ask for Viagra. ;-)
