Real men sew, and a man-and-a-half who wears a kilt.

When Susan and I got married, it was I who owned a sewing machine. I was too cheap to pay $3 for each patch/rank I needed on my USAF uniforms! So, bought a $200 sewing machine instead. Over ten years, I believe I saved $75 sewing my own patches. Go figure.

For some reason that seems completely logical to me!

I had to install a pair of metric things on a car, so I went out and bought a set of metric wrenches. My wife asks "couldn't you just buy the ONE wrench you need for that particular job?"

There are some things that the average female mind just cannot grasp.

Plus we all know it's more expensive to buy just one instead of the entire set. That's why I bought LPs, not 45s. (p.s., for you young 'uns, those were the things before 8-track tapes. What are 8-track tapes?)
