Perhaps a tiny trial tap
In my email an offer that leaves me with many questions. It was an offer to participate in a Kickstarter. I like these, hence the email. But I didn’t chip on, because I couldn’t find a real need.
It was a tiny hammer, of sorts. Designed to hang from your keychain, just in case you needed to break the car window, a fter you plunge from a wharf. Or get caught in a flash flood. I’m unsure. Yes, I accept that preparations for emergenciy escapes could turn this into a “need”, butlet’s just imagine. You are in your car, and the water is rising, quickly. Inside? Outside? Unsure? You’re orepared. You have the tool, purchased late one night in some sort of frenzied buying binge. And you don’t know if it actually works.
Would you try the tool on a sunny afternoon, in early spring? What if it works as advertised, and you now have a car that lacks one of the windows. Opps. No do-over. Or, how about trying it on another car. That one, next door? Would the sudden alarm horn startle you? How would you explain your success to anyone else? Again, oops.
How did soneone decide that this was their product of choice for a Kickstarter? Are they selling many> Is this justa a geegaw, adding to the weight of your keychain. I really want to know. And it’s small. How about picking up a standard claw hammer, over at the Emporium. That would work (although car windows are harder to smash than many folks realize. Why not get a brick? Explain to any authorities who question your strange junk in the back seat that the brick is a souvenir from the demolition of your old elementary school.
I guess I’m not going to be part of this campaign. Too many unanswered questions.
