You know you're a typical guy when....

You spend your saved up stripper money on a new Bosch sliding compound mitre saw w/laser guide ! ( no I didn't do it, my friend the peeler fan did ... and it is a nice saw )
 
1) You cant remember what any womans' face looked like, but can describe their boobs in minute detail.

2) You eat all your meals over the sink, no dishes involved.

3) When you go three nights without ordering pizza, and they call to see if you are feeling ok.

Ya, bosch makes nice tools but you have to be careful with sliding mitre saws, they flex a bit along the slide....especially if you're cutting hard white maple or similar hardwood. Also be VERY careful of kickback....if your blade is getting a little dull and it grabs the piece, duck!

Anyhow, first thing I'd do is check to make sure it is square. To do this take a piece of anything, the wider the better (mdf works well for this) and cut it halfway through along the width. Then flip it around 180 degrees and cut the rest of the way. Run a straightedge along the cut...that'll tell you what adjustments might be necessary....
 
...when you go to Home Depot and the cashier says (when you grab the ONE item without a upc sticker) "you've been here enough to know better than that, go get me one with a sticker on it..."

(this actually happened to me DOH)
 
...you share tips on getting your tools square.

I didn't realize that even a metal one piece square can go out of square. Drilling a small hole at the inner corner or outer corner depending on which way it's out of alignment can make it true again.

You can also correct framing squares by dimpling the inner or outer corner with a centre punch. Depending on how out of square it is will depend on how deep the dimple will be, hit it hard if it is totally out of whack, just a tap if it is only slightly.....

Yeah it didn't cut square when I used it but he didn't believe me. He cut and flipped 5 times then said my square was out. Then checked with his own square and sheepishly admitted I was right. I also found that when flipped over ( off of the vertical ) for miters that it twists and doesn't cut true.

Thanx for the tip on truing up squares ... should know that but I just didn't think it thru.
 
Thanks I think it was jimmyt for this great idea.

Wow I never thought about eating over the sink that would really cut down on the dishes but that would mean moving my TV closer to the sink.

The funny part is it's hard to argue the comments thus far.

Here's a question at what point do you guys spend your Canadian Tire Money? I just keep letting it pile up thinking one day I can buy something really big with it.

When I hit double digits I start thinking about it.....

Good one...

Forget the Mag lite for $15 you can get a refurbished A-ROD, make a handy present for the wife.

Feel free to post your own end of the sentence.

For me:

You know you're a typical guy when....


(man, I need a life lol)
You pee standing up?
You laugh at the "Family Guy"?
Pretty girls make you, err, ah, stammer?
Prettier girls make you hard?
Girls make you hard?
Your major responsiblility in the shower is to get your gibblies clean?
Shaving is a chore?
You crave seeing shaved pussy..........


{an aside}
Seeing shaved pussy though, is not really a chore - but could be lots of work. As we can all attest.
Speaking of shaving: Shaved pussy is a damned fine sight. Something to be explored, prodded and fondled. Slicked, licked, and flicked. Something to be worshipped. Revered even. (Typical guy talk there. Don't mind me...)


Cheerio,
Jack.
