Transcript

If you're a piece of shit carpenter like I am, nothing pisses you off more than when you're screwing into something and it fucking breaks. So to keep my shit from looking like a bag of dicks, I'll just send the screw in backwards for a few seconds to make a pilot hole. That way, the only thing that'll be split and open will be your mom when I'm taking her to Pound Town tonight. Hope this helps.
