Or find another one, buy 22 hamsters or other small rodents, train them to play football on a miniature field using the wrenches as goal posts, exhibit them at county fairs, gas and steam engine shows, and antique wrench meets, appear on TV on Letterman's Stupid Pet Tricks and get a date with the grinder girl.
