the SAK of "fill in the blank"
on: January 09, 2017, 02:45:47 AM
Ok. Time Magazine has declared the Botox is the Swiss Army Knife of medications. Cover illustration attached.

Others claim that this or that is the SAK of something...printers, cars, etc.

What are some of the other comparisons?

"Torpedo tube no. 6 is jammed, sir!"
"Jammed! With what?"
"I believe it's a toothpick and tweezers, sir."
"58 or 91mm?"
"The big kind, sir."
"God-damn it! I told 'em this is a nuclear submarine. We don't need T&T! But they wouldn't listen..."
"So what do we do, sir?"
"Increase speed to 30 knots! Deploy the tin opener!"
"But sir - !"
"Just do it, sailor! That old Wenger claw will rip their hull right open!"
"But we've got the new style tin opener, sir! The Victorinox kind."
"What the hell!"
"Looks like we're doomed, sir."
"Well, if we're gonna die we may as well die happy. Sailor! Find the corkscrew and crack open this bottle of Chablis...."
"Corkscrew? What corkscrew?"
"Don't tell me we've got a backside Phillips?"
"Worse than that, sir. If you remember, the top brass couldn't decide between a corkscrew and a Phillips, so in the end they settled for the pointy thing from the back of a Wenger Golfer 56."
"You're kidding me!!"
"They thought it could be useful if we ever go golfing in our nuclear submarine..."
"God bless the top brass!
"Sir?"
"Dive to 50 meters! Deploy the Wenger Golfer 56 Pointy Thing! When I give the order we shoot up to the surface!"
"But sir!"
"If that doesn't sink em we'll drag 'em down with the Multipurpose Hook!"
"It's crazy... but it might just work!"
"Dive, Dive, Dive!"

Both JavaScript and Perl have been called "The Swiss Army Knife of Programming Languages". IMO, they are more like the Chinese knockoffs. The big question is: when will they break?

Target has gift cards available,  where the knife has the Target logo instead of the Swiss cross, and has a tennis racquet,  spatula, and a couple other gift ideas replacing the blades.

The Mercedes Unimog gets referred to as the Swiss Army Knife of trucks, often.   What's really interesting is that the Swiss Military actually used 'em in the '60s.   


By the way, is there a chance that that Zurich American Bank Climber real?  I know a lot of Swiss banks had them made.
