Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for October 11, 2011

I think he’s the tool here.

It’s a guy thing.

Let’s take a look in your shoe closet before we discuss the socket wrenches, shall we?

If you wore every two of them, it would make more sense.

Every two PAIRS of shoes? I got feet for hands. Ripley reference not intended.

“IT has sizes not even invented yet”!!!! 29 /84ths!!!!!!! OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! What do you want fixed??

My late husband had a router that he used only once in twenty some years, and there were plenty more power tools that kept the router company. I never said anything because I have plenty of stuff for the kitchen that falls into the same vein: ice cream maker, cake pans of odd shapes and sizes, etc. Everyone needs a hobby (or a rich fantasy life of a hobby.)

Not “every two pairs”, but “every two OF the pairs.” It wouldn’t make much sense to wear one of a pair but not the other, would it? (Not that she necessarily said that’s what she does, but she doesn’t preclude it.)

But maybe she likes to mix ‘n’ match, or maybe she only has one foot. If it’s the latter, then buying both shoes of the pair is wasted money. On the other hand, perhaps she has a girlfriend who has the foot she lacks, and vice versa. They could go halfsies. Then the shoe would be on the other foot.

“She wept because she had only 500 shoes, until she met a woman who had only 500 feet.”

I’ll bet that if we could see the entire label that’s covered by hubby’s arm it would say “MANCO”.

She’ll be singing a different tune when he’s able to fix a leaky faucet because he has the right tools on-hand.

A new project requires a new tool. I thought everyone knew that.

I inherited my Dad’s socket set and use it regularly. In fact, one year I asked for (and got) a new electric drill for my birthday.
