Just how lazy can we get?

Hiya Folks,So I'm in line at the local Borg (the blue one) picking up some tubing when I notice a kid playing with ata a Black and Decker display. I figured it was a sander or something and didn't really pay much attention. Low and behold, the kid moves and I realize it's a Power Tape Measure. No shit, press the button and it pushes the tape out for you. Press another, and it retracts. And for only $24.95 you too can save yourself around 2 calories of effort avoiding the use of a "manual" tape measure..... I couldn't believe it to be honest. It's no wonder this country is so obese!!!!Cheers,cc

I figure most people in the trade would be too embarrassed to use an electric or electronic tape in the field.
