So I was educated that day that phillips head screws are "pluses" and that slotted head screws are "minuses".
What an old man can learn from this new generation is astounding.
Go figure.

LOL, that sure is a new one on me.
Did you educate him about slotted and Philips head?
If you asked him for pan head screws, he probably would have taken you to the frying pans.
