Greetings tool lovers.

Over the weekend, hanging with a buddy, and he tells me about how he
got his vortex type cooler. (The sort where you plug it into an air
line and cold air comes out one end (and hot out the other).
Seems one of the guy's at work had a father who had decided to get
rid of the "extra" tools. Held a "garage sale' at work. You know the
sort, note on the bulletin board, list of tools - "make offer." Carlin
looks at it, ask the guy, "How much?" and doesn't argue when he says
"Five bucks" and hands over the money. Then tells him that they list
around 365, but you can get them for as low as 295. The guy then
agrees "That's a great deal ... oh ****, and I just gave it to you!"

So, is it a tool gloat when the guy who just sold it to you,
realizes that he is the one who got had?

boys could lose a finger or two playing with."
