Unholy.

now that is interesting.  they don't have to have the holes but customers expect them and they're not gonna change a design that has been around for a hundred years.  

Now...if democrats find out about this...they will change it.   Our light bulbs were working and they've been around a 100 years and they had to change that...our toilets, our blind cords, our car seats, our motorcyle accessories, our carpetting, our money, medicines, healthcare, electrical things,  and so much more and they don't make them better...they make it more expensive.
