Default Christmas Present for the DIY spouse

sounds like a pretty good present to me.....
reminds me of why i dont need anything for christmas: wife says, hey
this drill for sale looks pretty good, what do you think.. i say that i
dont need a drill, got a couple of good ones now.. wife says, oh, i want
one for me... i say OK, then i have to pack it away with my other stuff
and find out its for me....what about these tools that sears has for
sale??? are they any good?? can we use them... i dont need any more
tools.. oh, but do you have 5mm to 19 mm???? let me see.. oh well for
that price i guess i can use them, but really dont need them... yes but
what about the time you could not find the 10 mm wrench.. i just used a
socket with the handle drive as it was such a low torque bolt.. could
have used some pliers on it... well i guess i can use some more just in
case.... waht about this standard set??? its 1/4 in. to 5/8 in.. no i
dont need that i got all the standard stuff since the 60's.... well what
about this power washer?? can we use it??? no i dont want to buy a power
washer to wash the sidewalk like the neighbor down the street.. its not
my thing.... yes, but its got a gas motor.....???? NO... when you want
the sidewalk clean i can use bleach or pool chemicals to get the mold
off the sidewalk... OK,,, OK...... well what about this power saw???
no. i dont want to cut anyting, got a circular saw, sabre saw, and a
whole buch of hand saws, dont need any more saws.... well what about
this other thing in the sears ad??? No, the weedwacher we got now is
just as good as this one, maybe better.... well what about this
edger??? no, i dont need a gas edger as the electric one we have is good
enough for us..... well i saw this boat ad on the back page, and you
could go out on a boat... No. i dont want to be on a boat, when its time
to come home i want to drive or be able to walk when i want to get home,
dont like being stranded on the water.... what about these christmas
lights or animated animals for the lawn??? oh, we have enough.... never
had any place to put the stuff in the shed on the front of the house now
so what we gonna do with these new ones... Oh, come on, lets go to the
store and see What YOU WANT.... and no more tools for me, OK.. ok....
