Can a Hippie Out-Tool a Trucker in a Tyre Changing Contest?

In summary: I like to bring up these sorts of tools, because it's worth taking a minute to think about what we'd do in a world without string. No clothes other than leather, no string to make traps with, no sails to explore the seas, no baskets, no pottery, etc.

Reminds me of a stand off I was in loggers versus environmentalists. It was tense and aggressive. One night the hippie's challenged the truckers to a tyre changing contest on a logging truck.

The truckers thought they would win easy. This hippy apparently worked in a previous life as a mechanic assistant.

He beat all the truckers at changing tyres, they couldn't believe it.

Both groups respected each other after that and prolly defused the seething violence that was brewing.
