I do, for one. Victorinox. Handy for carving a pair of sets of initials in a tree, or removing a cork from a bottle of wine. It can even open a can or tighten a screw.

The jackknife was a staple possession for kids way back when.
A typical unit.

I bought some pastries at a nearby European bakery today, but when I got home, I noticed they were stollen.

Quoting my revered great-grandmother when she gave me my first pocket knife, "A gentleman always carries a knife.".

According to the (now sadly defunct) webcomic Wasted Talent, you know you are dating an engineer when the answer to "is that a screwdriver in your pocket or...?" is "actually, it is a screwdriver".

This is the plot of a sci-fi short story from years ago. I want to say Asimov, but I'm not sure. Parties unknown leave what amounts to a Star Trek replicator on the steps of a university. Yes there is more than one lying around. Yes you can duplicate one with another. The economists have a rather busy day rewriting their entire discipline...

stollen ... I had to look that up

Stollen is a fruit bread of nuts, spices, and dried or candied fruit, coated with powdered sugar or icing sugar.
It is a traditional German bread eaten during the Christmas season, when it is called Weihnachtsstollen or Christstollen.

Reminds me of the standard question of a computer support department I once knew:
Client: "My laptop crashed."
Hotline: "How high?"

(... and they weren't joking, it was normally exactly what had happened.)

said to the boss " I would like to leave 30 mins early today for a hair cut"

He said " but it didn't all grow during work time"

I replied " I'm not getting it all cut off" :wink:

A teacher once told us he'd got a hair cut, to which one of my classmates chirped "Really Sir? Which one?" Amazingly, he survived saying it.
