…are a few of the items Mr. Tao packed for work on Friday. :eek:
What misleading terms do you come across in YOUR average workday? 
The only item I possess whose name does not reflect its function is the Snark.
I’ll give you a hint: it’s blue.
Gaaahhhhh. I thought this was going to be a post about an extremely clever, suicidal cat.

My snark is red.
Most of what I collect is more than meets the eye.
Dunno, but I’ve thought of the three things I’d stow in my (assuming I can get one) locker at a local community college whilst prepping for an EE BS degree.
Cat = Bottle of whiskey
Shotgun = handgun (45 ACP)
Tripod = Lots of “duct” tape
Had to look up Snark; only thing my dad ever used was a pitch pipe, and for years I was sure THAT was off-tune. 
Once had a trunkfull of human body parts. From a bunch of different people.
I was working a s a museums consultant, and was collecting them from museums who had human body parts donated (including: medical specimens, war “trophies”, a few shrunken heads, some saint’s relics, cremains, and part of a Puruvian Mummy.).
The regulations had changed, about what museums could have in their collection with out special permiting. I was collecting those “items” for proper storage, display or return to appropriate parties.
I had about 3 binders full of transport permits.
Also got to carry a medium machine gun (Bren Gun) through a major airport, with live ammo jammed in it. (Pre 9-11). Worked in a military museum. Again, the paperwork weighed almost as much as the gun.
Did somebody call? I don’t like the sound of the shotgun, but I suppose it’s too late to start worrying about that now.
How do you feel about tripods?

Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff!
