It's A Guy Thing - You Wouldn't Understand

Okay,Okay...I'm in my favorite big-box store, starts with an L and ends with an owes, and I'm checkin' stuff out. You know, it's a guy thing. We check stuff out. Never know when we'll see sumpthin' we gotta have - right now. You guys know! Right?

So anyway I'm cruising painting stuff and I sees this here spray paint gun and is it cool or what? It's got lasers on it to aim it. Yeah! Can you believe it? Lasers! And I'm thinkin' "man I gotta have that."

So I look at it for a minute and think about projects to do and I really don't have any that would justify buying it, my house has no-paint siding, but then what about something I may not have remembered that needs painting? And then again I think, "but wait a minute." "Doesn't a whole fog of stuff come out the front end when you spray paint?" "Yep," I says, "and if it is anything but clear I will see where it is going." "Right?" "Right." Still talking to myself I say, "Yeah but these are Lasers, Dude, what if you ever do spray really clear stuff, you'll be prepared."

About now your asking "well did you buy it?" Of course not. You know better than that, the Mrs. was standing right there. But I may have to go back to the "L" store for some more stuff and then who knows. Right?

Yeah, it's a guy thing - and we all do it. Don't we fellas?
