Falstaff II: Weekend Mechanic

What screwball put out that hoity-toity righty-tighty royal decree? I wanna put in to that mother for a writ of exemption. Ha! That one’s out! Those ANSI’s twist and turn but I’ll get ’em in the end. Free yet? Well, well, getting looser. Where’s that tool? Here’s one more leftover to get off, then the righteous can standardize all they want.

clue:

You may imagine a 1990’s Falstaff with a screwdriver struggling to fix his closet door. He thinks that the standards organization ANSI is responsible for declaring which way screws turn.

give me a clue so sweet and true
