Just like the box of screws my great grand father passed down to my grand father, then to my father and finally to me. This multigenerational collection of screws from goodness knows where will keep growing until I bestow it on the heir to my estate.

At this point you cannot even get rid of it because it's an heirloom

If I did, I guarantee every item in my life held together with screws will work its way loose out of spite, and that’s not a risk I’m willing to take
