Michael's Ghetto Fix

In the ghetto, everything can be fixed with a butter knife and/or a pair of pliers.

The knob on the washing machine snapped off over the weekend. As a BAP I found the problem insurmountable. To no end, Michael tried to fix it with Crazy Glue which can suspend a 175 pound man in air but can't take the torque of trying to twist a washing machine knob. Meanwhile, Michael's fix for the washing machine is grasp the outer ring and twist to the desired setting, grab the screw to which the knob used to be attached (with a pair of pliers, if available) and pull hard.
