It was probably brad

I like how they have a picture of a drill with a phillips head bit on the end of it. I wonder how long it took them to get through the tank with that. If i see someone walking around with a cordless drill and a 1/2 in drill bit ill ingore them.

It's funny, I was drilling a piece of metal at work today and the bit was pretty dull, I applied a little pressure and the tip of the bit started to glow red. Who will be the first dipshit to turn themselves into a charcoal briquette trying to steal someone's gas?
