All-Purpose Flashlights
How do you operate one of those all-purpose flashlights? I tried to peel potatoes with it, and blow my nose on it but I must say, its all-purpose characteristics were less than satisfactory.

I’ve faced this problem myself. The pants suit that said, “One size fits all”? When I tried to fit us all in it, it tore at the seams after just 4 people. A blatant rip off. And the paper towel dispenser that said “Rip down, tear up”? When I ripped it down and tore it up, my hands were still wet and there were reams of low grade paper and mangled machinery all over the floor. And what about those cans that say “Contents under pressure”? Why should I buy a can with anxious contents? There’s enough stress in the world. When I buy a can, it better have calm contents or nothing at all. I recommend you take your flashlight back and ask for a refund. Then again, if that’s your only purpose in returning it , hasn’t the flashlight succeeded?
