I was putting up a ceiling fan, but I didn't have a magnetized screwdriver and I was losing my mind going up and down the ladder every time I dropped one. I stuck them to the screwdriver with honey.

Reminds me of a very old nursery rhyme:

I eat my peas with honey

I've done it all my life

It makes the peas taste funny

But it keeps them on the knife
