When I was about 17, I put a 283 Chev V8 in a '36 Chev pickup. Needed some bolts, went to my favorite hardware store (no big box stores in those days- potbelly stove, oiled wood floors, big bank of bins behind the counter with a travelling ladder). Was a little disappointed to see about the cutest girl in the world behind the counter- very easy on the eyes, but I knew I'd have a hard time explaining what I wanted.

I expressed regret that I hadn't asked her out for a date, but my buddy just smiled and said, "Don't give it another thought- a knock-out girl that knows hardware? You won't live long enough to get to the front of THAT line!"
