intersting screwdrivers you use over there
"screwdrivers" is at the end of a list of example of tools.
Just like the hockey stick was part of the examples of sports equipment and not specifically named.
The way the picture was cropped makes it misleading.
Hey when everything looks like a nail
They don't have screwdrivers, up there they call them Robby's. They made a bit that is better than a flat or a Phillips and they refuse to ever use anything else.
Because Robby is the best. My red and green Robby’s are my two most used by far.
Is the last one maple syrup?
Crown royal
Come to think of it, I wonder why Crown Royal hasn't released a maple syrup whiskey yet.
Huh. I'll be damned. Reviews of it say it's pretty mid with it being a little too sweet. Guess I'll stick to vanilla CR highballs.
I'm an original or bust kind of guy. I've don't like any flavoured whiskey.
I've had their XR and their OXR, the latter of which was really rare.
Fact: Every Canadian has a hockey stick on them at all times.
Can confirm.

No, the dead give away is the crown royal
That's an example that makes sense there. You're also not allowed cricket bats, baseball bats, fencing swords, golf clubs, tennis racquets, etc.
Probably the singlemost important one that for some reason commonly gets forgotten about... lacrosse sticks. They were literally weapons historically.
What about ping-pong paddles, lawn darts, ski poles, pool cues or bowling balls?
What a wild crop. If you have to go so far to avoid attributing something to another person, just remake the whole thing.
I mean the username is in the image. Unless you're talking about the poster of dangerous items in which case they didn't bother to attribute it because it's the prohibited items poster when you go through security in a Canadian airport.
For the why, I was just speculating. But for the what, it's instantly obvious to everyone. When ALCOHOL gets cropped to )L, it's abundantly clear the image has been heavily edited.
Oooor someone took a picture of the physical sign in the real world and focused on the images in the middle without including all of the text. Because other wise the images would be to small to see.
I have no reason to believe anything was croped to deliberately remove anything.
I genuinely think there's no other reason to do it. Like, if I show you a picture of my grandmother, but I cropped half of her face off, how would that not be your first comment!?
If i knew you cropped it I would ask you why you cropped out half your grandma. If you showed me a picture of half your grandma I would ask you why you are so bad at taking pictures. If you showed me a picture of a giant sign and pointed to a funny thing that is to tiny to see and you have to zoom in really far to see it, I would also ask you why you didn't take a better picture.
You have no indication anything was cropped. You just assume it was.
Have you seen people take pictures of documents? 90% of people take it at an angle instead of straight down. People are bad at taking pictures! The person who took the picture in the meme probably didnt even read the text on the left. They saw a picture of a hockey stick, thought "lol", pulled out their phone, pointed it at the hockey stick and pressed the shutter button. That's it. End of the story. Nobody cropped anything, nobody chose to omit anything.
Occam's razor. Why would you take a screenshot or picture of something, but crop part of the thing you want to post about out? It makes no sense...
