Wife: It was expensive? Me: OK, what did you buy? wife: A Makita compound miter saw. Me: *silence* Me: Let me put you on speaker phone so I can make the other guys in the office jealous. My wife is also in to Trek, Star Wars and plays EQII when we have time (which with a little one isn't often). Her only flaw in my eyes was she didn't ride a bike, that changed last weekend. |
No, I don't remember where I was going all dressed up and expecting to have to remove stripped screws. |
Pics?

Cool story.
I'll be honest with you, though. I guy is not thinking about a woman's tools when he meets her. He's thinking of only one of two possible things: Does he want to or not. If yes, that's pretty much what he'll think of the rest of the time. Guys are literal, rarely subtle in thought. |

call me when the leg humping starts

Am I alone in wishing you'd taken a picture of their faces to see the reaction?
A great story that got a good long giggle from me. Thanks for the smiles. |
I'm impressed with the use of Propitiate.
:D Great word, I didn't know til now. |

Congrats SD, you are indeed unique among women.
My sister has the Leatherman, and a really cool little electrician's multi-tool that I covet on principle even though I have no idea what half the bits are... of course when I gave her a bike for her birthday it had to come with a toolkit. Podolak, are you sure you are not my sister's husband? :D |
I Love You Mary Poppins :-)

I typically carry a Cisco multi tool in my bag, just a fancy screwdriver with multiple ends with Cisco written on it. Men seem to like it a lot.
I also have an ubuntu laptop, I get a lot of eyebrows when they find that out. Men love me heh. I'm in the same boat as the OP. Funny how screwdrivers are hotter than lipstick |

I find it highly suspicious that you felt compelled to protect the identities of the movers by assigning them fake names.
My gaydar is on full alert. Yeah it's not the right tool for the job but my BS meter is in the shop. |
