Does This Hack Saw Come in Pink?

I’ll admit it. I have a thing for power tools.

Many women love dresses, purses and glittery eye makeup. And while I can certainly get giddy over a trip to Sephora, nothing will woo me quite like shine of a brand new drill press.

I was wandering through one of the big box hardware stores the other day, high heels click-clicking on the concrete floor, when I found the holy grail. Tool World.

I must have lulled myself into a stupor staring at all the shiny things with cords, because a blue-aproned salesman tentatively approached me. With understanding in his eyes, he patted me on the arm and whispered, “Can I help you pick out something for your husband?”

Just goes to show you that someone doesn’t have to be in your target market to be a potential customer. After all, a girl’s gotta have her tools.
