Oh, and they are great for punching extra holes in belts, in case you've lost a few of those extra pounds.

We can't be sure. But, even if it doesn't, you won't be any worse off than you already are. I can't see a reason not to try.

I have an antique awl, edgar, honestly. I always remember how to pronounce it, 'cause it rhymes with y'all.

Here's an ice pick awl.

"Awl, or Nothing at Awl"! Laughing

Remember the old metal ice trays? They came in 2 pieces with a handle you pulled back to get the ice out. Those were the days


I can get those too, but we are out of them at this time.

Joe, you should have said, "We are awl out of them."

Hey, Gus darlin', have you changed the awl in your car recently?

Last night I was driving down the road and happened to see a rabbit attacked and subsequently eaten by an awl.

I didn't know those damned things could fly.

Roger offered to send me one. Thanks, Roger, but I think there are simpler ways to get one.

Let's raise the tone of this thread a bit, shall we?

Shakespeare. Yes, William Shakespeare was who punned on 'awl' quite a bit in the opening scene of "Julius Caesar." Anyone remember that bit? "I am a cobbler, sir. I meddle not with tradesmen's matters but with awl." (Quoted from memory; I'm sure someone will correct me presently.)
