New garage sign

[Silver Bullet]

So, my wife got home tonight from her weekly trip to Target and announced that she had bought me something for my garage while she was there. I was skeptical but she pulled out this sign. I think it's great. Can't wait to hang it up.

I like it.

Good sign, sort of surprised Target has that - although considering some of the teenage t-shirts slogans they have...

 

[rburke65]

Nope, ain't getting it.

 

[Silver Bullet]

Ok, I'll try to explain..........In this area (Long Island anyway) "tool" is also a reference to a certain male body part. It is often used as an insult as in, "That guy's a real tool". Think of it as the same as the well known nickname for Richard (d$ck). So basically the sign is a garage guy's way of saying, "Don't be a d$ck".

That's awesome. Gotta get me one of those.

Funny stuff.

I'm going to have to get one of those. Any idea what department it was in?

 

[Silver Bullet]

My wife said it was in the automotive/hardware section.

No Target stores up here in the Great White North.

If anybody finds an on-line source, please post the link. I'd love one of those! I had no luck trolling the Target web site.

Any manufacturer information on the back of it?

Thanks!

Thank you Silver Bullet

I don't shop at Target since they are owned by the french...

 

[muckyp]

According to Snopes, Target is not French owned.

[RbrtAWhyt]

Then they must not be, if snopes say they arent...I stand corrected.

DANG ME!
I ran out at lunch to our local Target and they don't even have signs in the Automotive dept anymore. I'll have to check the Target by my home.
I hope someone can find an online link to it?

Dang, I wish we had a target around here...

 

[HOTFR8]

I Love it. I want one.

 

[Silver Bullet]

I'll check with my wife and if there were more at the Target here I'll have her pick them up.

 

[Silver Bullet]

Target here has a few of them left. I think they're about 8 buck a piece or so. If anyone wants one let me know and I'll see if I can get her to pick them up for me.

I'm not sure what's worse - not getting it, or having to explain it....

What a bunch of tools!

 

[rburke65]

When I grow up I want to be just like you e-tek! You're so cool and so on the cutting edge e-tek! Your so lucky e-tek!

 

[Rolling_Thunder]

Me Like! :?)

I'll have to see if Target in Australia has them

Cheaper at Target from the other posts, but if you can't get one there I found this thumbing through my wifes collection of catalogs laying all around the computer that she's ordering stuff from for Christmas.

Anytime I hear the name Bob now, I can't help but think of the Enzyte commercial guy

Which in turn takes this thread in a similar yet totally and wrong direction talking about "tools"

In case your Mommy never told you, you can aspire to anything when you grow up. Keep working at it, try not to be so serious and one day....maybe....just maybe...
