May Day- Bought a parker to celebrate

[Kevin McCormack]

You mean a heavy-duty plastic letter opener? (Hint-Hint!)

Thanks to all, although I didn't realize that May 1st. was a communist event or holiday. I took a length of 9/16" soft pine dowel and sanded it to a taper, used that and it worked great. Would it be possible to see some photos of the $6.50 tool here? Thanks!!

It isn't as much a Communist holiday, as it is a Socialist holiday, much the same as Labor day is over here. It's only been a Socialist holiday since the late 1800s, but has been a traditional Celtic holiday for about 500 years, and not to celebrate the laborers, but to celebrated the arrival of spring.
