Even Madder, Chew up railroad tracks and spit up 16 lb spikes





Swallow Bees and sting your mindYou ever been mad enough to chew up a barb wire fence and spit out 10 penny nails?
Just a couple of times in my 55 years. And both times I had very good friends stop me from blowing sky high and ruining my career--the first time even going so far as to wrestle me into the ladies room and sit on me when I was going to go after a new boss.





It is never okay to blow a fuse that badly. Take up boxing as a pressure release instead, and picture the other guy's face on the bag as you're working out. It really helps.You ever been mad enough to chew up a barb wire fence and spit out 10 penny nails?

Nails are graded by a system that refers to the size of their diameter, in units called a ';penny';, abbreviated ';d';. The larger the number, the larger the nail is in diameter.

*In the US, the length and diameter of a nail is designated by its penny size. This unit's abbreviation is d (e.g. 10d for 10 penny nails), as for British pence before decimalization. A smaller number indicates a shorter, thinner nail and a larger number indicates a longer, thicker nail (e.g. common 10d nails are .148'; in diameter and 3'; long). Nails under 1录 in., often called brads, are sold mostly in small packages with only a length designation (e.g. 陆'; (12 mm), 1鈪?quot; (28 mm), etc.).





It is commonly believed that the origin of the term ';penny'; in relation to nail size is based on the old custom in England of selling nails by the hundred. A hundred nails that sold for six pence were ';six penny'; nails. The larger the nail, the more a hundred nails would cost, hence the larger nails have a larger number for their penny size.





This however is a false legend: the reference is instead to the nominal mass of the nail expressed in pennyweight (dwt), 1/20 of a Troy ounce. This, anciently, was the defined weight of a silver penny, 1/240 of a pound sterling. Although the pennyweight was officially abolished in the United Kingdom by the Weights and Measures Act 1878, its legacy continues in the classification of nails.
