Thursday Thirteen - My Man Tool.

I received an email about my man tool yesterday.  The email, from a close personal friend named srinivasa, insured that my man tool would hit the right spot.

What does that mean?

I'm female and have been all of my life.  I'm wondering what exactly is my man tool?

Thursday Thirteen #25 - My Man Tool

Knowing all the wise and wonderful TTers in the crowd, I thought you might help me out.

I present thirteen possible man tools:

1.  I have some marbles.

2.  I can program in HTML, blah, blah, C+, blah, database, blah.

3.  When necessary, I use my manly power tools: cordless drill,  skill saw,  kwik-saw, electric reel lawn mover, and a variety of rusty shovels.

4.  I have an entire manly weight rack of dumbbells and a pull down machine in my basement.

5.  I recently purchased a brand new box of Crayons that were immediately confiscated by my darling husband. Clearly Crayons are a man tool.

6.  My bar-be-que hits the spot.  (That's got to be a man tool, right??)

7.  My diamond wedding ring  is a powerful man attractant.  Every time I wear it, even if the darling husband is there, I get hard core hit on.  Last week, I spilled my drink and needed some napkins.  Leaving my dh and Rocker Boy at the table, I asked a tattooed guy on a barstool to pass the napkins to me.  He gave me a stack, called me "babe" and I wandered back to the table.  Rocker Boy noticed the guy slipped his business card in the stack of napkins.  Rocker Boy and dh busted a gut laughing.

8. The Tetrus on my manly Google Sidebar hits my "I need a break" spot.

9.  I have a subscription to the modern man's tool for enlightenment (in Spanish).  Mas sexo!

10.  I own my very own propane torch.

11.  Here's a host of manly multi-tools:

12.  I own a 4x4 off-road truck but it's never hit anything. Ok, it doesn't look like this....

13.  What about this man-tle:
