A Good Ax is Hard to Find
It really is. I go out looking for one, and all I can find are either hatchets or halberds. There’s got to be a happy medium here. Something long enough to get a good swing in, but without a huge spike on the end. You know what I mean? It’s OK if there’s a built in pipe or something, that way I can smoke while I’m splitting wood. It’d also be nice if it had a little warning label that reminded me to put gloves on, because I always forget and end up with a blister between my thumb and forefinger. The label could also tell me whether it’s spelled “ax” or “axe”. I can never remember. I think both versions are acceptable, but one can never be too careful these days…
