Default The Chinese army shovel



Forget about the swiss army knife, this is the chineese army shovel

It digs, it entranches,
Slices and dices and burries your wife
Does everything except make you coffee

Sure beats the old system of having an officer point a pistol at your face and say "you dig now!"

If I'd just dug a latrine I'm not sure how au-fay I'd be with chopping potatoes with that.

On the other hand, there's no denying the usefulness of a folding shovel tool.

If you've ever had a take-away, then you'll survive, immunity and all that...

Would you rather the guy chopping the potatoes be the guy that just used his shovel to empty out the latrine?
