You buy a new shirt and jeans and the first thing the wife says to you is that she better not find you in the garage wearing either of them.


The garage smells like a steel mill and the garbage bag that makes it to the curb contains 20lbs of grinder debris from the chop saw every couple months.


Your neighbor asks you what you do in the garage to make so much noise? And the only short answer they will understand is to say "Stuff".

YMBAWI: When your firefighter buddies show off their expensive new fireproof shirts, and your only comment is 'na, they burn'

you could set off a metal detector naked (after all my years of welding and grinding i think i could)

That is sweet! I think the two 10" rods in my back would do, but I think that there is more in my lungs to do the trick!!!

..... if you have only ONE pair of jeans without holes in the them (for going out on Saturday of course) and they don't feel near as comfortable as the others

That's funny. This isn't meant as an insult: I picture you and your wife sitting on the couch like Beavis and Butthead. She says "He said inconel 718" and you say "Yeah. Huh, huh."
