    You just described the entire contents of my garage except for my 1960 Desoto which is a vehicle that is primarily used for supporting boxes of stuff that got taken off my 1960 Desoto.

    I thought it was funny.

    And I don't see any reason why I would think - Hey, I'm going to just randomly search for any past posts that might incorporate a good tool joke.

    Thanks, 5window. :)

    Thanks. I hate to be redundant and I didn't see it previously. I just did a search-it took me 5 tries to find it was posted previously-guess it's going around the 'net. Stiil it was funny to me and if I was someone who'd read it already I'd just have moved on. Thanks for the smile and have a good holiday.
