About the ability to wrap chips around peanuts with surgical precision i think Dick, i found it quite humourous too. Yes i know i should get out more :)

Edit: Damn you beat me Jay:P
 
Ok, now Dick... I have read this a couple of times and here's the real reason I was laughing: Home Depot "recruited" you - a brain surgeon - to work for them for $365K a year and you give that up to work for Snap-On and now you work for uh.... peanuts?

Oh yes, you probably remember Hechingers , I'm probably the guy that put them out of business. It was during my graduate year at Hopkins when the Depot was on there recruiting drive and the requirements were surgically steady hands and at the time I was top in my class. Yes the same hands that put Hechingers out business now wrap the potato chip around the now famous Nutterz. Once the competition was out of business they had developed a machine that could match my skillful hands ( Damn Robots). Prior to that Hechngers was suppling contractors with shabby lumber, so I was taken on by Home Depot to put rubbers on termites to keep them from screwing up the wood. It was very hard on the eyes.
 
So they paid you $365K to put rubbers on termites? Ok so how does a headhunter come to find someone so skilled? Were you voted most likely to neuter a termite in college?

And where does Snap on come into this? Or don't I want to know?

Best tool box salesman in Snap on history.............
 
Did the tool boxes come with the Snap on calendar in them already? You still didn't really answer the questions.

Yeah prior to snap on I landed a dream job at Home Depot, actually they recruited me during my graduate year at John Hopkins , I was into neurosurgery and I had the steadiest hands in the class. I never graduated because Home Depot started me at 365k a year and I did not have to carry any malpractice insurance. Having steady hands is probably what gives me the ability to wrap potato chips around peanuts.

oddly enough and usually ending up in the minority, I immediately thought Red Hammer and when I got to the end of the test I was astonished . So my first thoughts were to lie and say a chrome plated overhead valve spring compression tool, but I just couldn't do it. I really did think of RED and then Hammer. I have since taken a smoke break and have figured out how this works but I'm not telling.......... pretty cool

Hey Sicky, was it an IR 231 ?

That's kind of scary because I don't consider myself to think like the majority of society, and I'm a fabricator. I know of all kinds of tools. So what did I come up with. A stinking RED HAMMER!!...DOH!!:shocked::lol:
 
Heh, I liked psych, hated math..so i didn't take the test.. :P

Oh, and that's some twisted career path ya got there Dick...amazing.
