My first real full time job after highschool was at a giant inland grain terminal. The first day at lunch I saw most of the other men had big green Stanley thermos's so after my first paycheck I went and got one for myself. This last week, after 21 years,five great jobs, six years of college and university, five new and three used vehicles and countless hunting and camping trips the big, green, scratched and dented Stanley stopped keeping my coffee hot. You may as well picture me on my knees, both hands in fists, arms streched out, head looking to the heavens and screaming NO! I tried everything to make sure and yes it was done. I have owned nothing that has earned it's keep as long as the Stanley and I don't know if I can actually throw it away but i will not replace it with anything but another just like it. Realising how exeptional and special the Stanley is I decided everyone I know will get one for their birthday this year. It is THE BEST thing I could give.
