I voted for iv also, but maybe I hang out with too many phlebotomists.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Just worse than ugly, I guess? We geezers don't keep up with the slang.
Ribbit, ribbit.

Boy, seems attention to detail is a tad bit lacking now isn't it?  A "FISHING POLL" is those nagging telemarketer survey question polls...The Ugly Stik (TM) is THE Fishing Pole some are very fond of! Gotcha! Now, the answer that it seems JBuck and one other may be the only ones to correctly answer (right Boss?) It is a musical Instrument! Quote:
The ugly stick is a traditional Newfoundland musical instrument fashioned out of household and tool shed items, typically a mop handle with bottle caps, tin cans, small bells and other noise makers. The instrument is played with a drum stick and has a distinctive sound.
The instrument's main body is a mop or broom handle cut to approximately four feet. An old rubber boot was attached to the bottom and a cymbal attached at the very top. At strategic intervals along the length of the shaft, nails affixed with bottle caps, felt tins and other noise makers would be nailed into the shaft. The instrument would then be decorated with items of colour and fluff to the artist's taste.
Wikipedia "Ugly Stick"   Isn't it nice to learn something new, besides coins? Your wives may just be impressed!  Wonder what sound that musical instrument in the lower right of the last pix makes? Edited by Crazyb0

That's a new one for me crazybo! I've heard of people falling out of an ugly tree and hitting every limb and just figured that's where ugly sticks came from . That's why I love this family, always something new to learn. Thanks for the wrinkle!

I seem to recall my grandfather talking about it way back when. Like, forty years way back. I doubt I would have had that memory triggered if this were not multiple choice.  |

I'd say this one may have caught the ugly stick beating. Whoa!  |

Note correct technique of holding a coin by its rims for examination.

I got it wrong, but it's ok. I know what it is now though with the answers. I chose the answer "The wood chunk your Ex used on you".  Errers and Varietys.
