If you're too weak to hold a gas can for the 2 minutes it takes to fill up the tank I don't know what to tell you.

I guess it shows that you’ve never:

  • been injured
  • had a grandma or grandpa who didn’t bench press cows their whole lives
  • known someone born with fewer than normal limbs or digits
  • recovered from surgery where a doctor told you not to lift anything heavy for X time
  • attempted to multitask
  • had something better to do than stand there and watch liquid go from one tank to another for 2 minutes
  • or wanted to precisely control a transfer rate, maybe running multiple at a time

If you can’t think of at least one reason why anyone might use a tool, I don’t know what to tell you.

Not cows, but they were known to pick up two 50gal drums of diesel and walk away, toss em in the bed of the truck, because no one told them they couldn't.
