You just thought about a "Red Hammer," didn't you?


If this is not your answer, you are among 2% of people who have a
different, if not abnormal, mind.

98% of the folks would answer a "red hammer" while doing this exercise.

-----------
I'm in the 2% group which is not at all surprising.

Which group are you in?

I thought about my new fencing pliers, just in from New Zealand and sooo sexy.


They do have a red handle though.

Green trowel.

Judging by the answers so far the 2% v 98% is a bit out. Quite a few have gone for other options.

Yellow spade - i don't know why as yellow isn't my favourite colour and I've never used a spade! I always knew I was a bit strange:ohmy:
