Default She said what size socket?

When I was in Sears 2 days ago their was a young woman shopping for a socket. She looked a bit weird IMHO when I look from the back her hair was cut crazy. She was asking the sales lady which one was better size socket. I was kind of paying attention as they were right next to me. I heard the sales lady say "I don't know which one is right?"
I look over to see if she is trying to fit it on something and may be I could help.

She now looks at me and ask the same question. To my surprise the socket was for her EAR! I thought for a second and told her I would really do a small 3/8" wrench instead of the socket! She just looked and laughed.

She left with a small socket I guess 1/4" drive 3/8" I should have know as she had some other bits of metal pierced into her head when I saw her from the front.! Then I thought that is someones daughter who probably spent a small fortune raising her to see this small girl turn into a robot with bolts throughout her body!

Default Kids...

It's scary as a parent. My daughter just came home from college for spring break sporting a small tatoo on the palm of her left had just below her thumb. I guess I should be thankful the artwork is so small....

I'm sure hoping this craze dies out before my boy is old enough to get interested.

I'm about the same age. One of the dudes I went to high school with was big in the tattos and stuff. His latest from what I heard was licking a razor blade to split his tongue like a snake Then wonders why it's hard to find a job. He is over a inch into there

I am 22 and never understood the whole peircing/tatoo craze. In some cases (girls) it takes a wonderful looking body and makes it unbearable to look at.

Saw a great post in GRMS magazine a few months back that went:
"I like a girl who'll put a tatoo on her body that she'll regret in ten years".
Nuff said.

:John: You've got to stop going to these wild places, where you meet even wilder people

Try coming out to one of the HPDE's this year for some normal fun and games, and stay away from those wild Sears stores. We miss you!

If you need any spare parts for your C5, let me know as I have sold my
C5.

maybe that's just the one she let you know about! I've seen that where they get 2 tatoos, one not so visible to parents, but then if anyone is talking about her 'tatoo', parents assume it's the one they've see- above the belt.... Good luck to all with daughters! -Dan
