Time for a toolbox

On Sunday I decided to go to Lowe's to comparison shop a new bathroom sink that I found at Home Depot Expo on Friday night. Instead of buying a new sink, I decided to replace my crappy leaking faucet with a new, cheap one. I bought the faucet, the new flexible hoses, a plumbing wrench, and some teflon tape...and the 6' ladder I went in there for. At the checkout counter a creepy man hit on me (told me my stock went up because I was going to do plumbing), offered to carry my ladder to my car (where my stock went up again because of my Brandeis sticker), and gave me lots of unsolicited (and unused) advice about how to replace my faucet. When he offered his number if I got stuck with the plumbing, I turned him down. Anyway, I got home, and two hours later I did it! Gotta say, it would've been much easier if the drawers on my crappy vanity would've come out.

Forgot to mention that the creepy little man who gave me all the plumbing advice is a Messianic Jew...turns out there are lots here.

"Gotta say, it would've been much easier if the drawers on my crappy vanity would've come out." I somehow read that as: "Gotta say, it would've been much easier if I'd had my crappy drawers on so my vanity would come out."

Oh, pamsterdam, you know very well that I don't have any vanity!

...you do, but it only comes out when you're wearing your crappy drawers!

Forgot to mention that shortly after installing the new faucet, I decided to figure out how much flooring I'll have to pull up in the bathroom to put down tile. To do that I removed the A/C vent in the floor, and when I looked in the duct I saw some fabric. I thought, what's that doing down there, and I wonder if it's making it not cold enough in here? So, I pulled out the fabric, only to discover that someone else lost their drawers, and possibly their vanity. Turns out the fabric was a pair of cotton ladies panties. As opposed to men's panties. I promtly threw them in the trash and washed my hands vigorously.

wearing crappy drawers is a great way to pull - they act as babe magnets (or fanny magnets in the UK), but then you have to remember to ditch them in the nightclub toilet and pretend you were going "commando" all night
