10 questions every guy should be able to answer

[Road Guy]

So the story goes one of my wife's friends dad made this list for her to give to potential boyfriends/husbands...

How many can you get without cheating?

I got 8....

 

[NJmike PE]

same, 8

 

[MA_PE]

I can definitively answer 8 and have strong guesses (which I believe are correct) for the other two.

 

[engineergurl]

some of those are trick questions

 

[mudpuppy]

I think there are several acceptable answers for #2 and #7.

and what if the ladder is an A frame, then that question doesn't make sense

and what if the ladder is an A frame, then that question doesn't make sense

Sorry, the question makes perfect sense. I believe you mean "step ladder" not "A-frame". Any man would recognize that.

pshhhh... go make me a sammich

 

[wilheldp_PE]

A multimeter measures multiple things...hence the name. Depending on the model, it can measure resistance, voltage, current, capacitance, continuity, etc.

 

[matt267 PE]

^ and there's your answer to that question.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

same, 8

How many of those did your wife answer for you?

 

[goodal]

7 strong answers. I know what the other 3 look like. Does that count?

 

[Road Guy]

& shouldn't #3 be. Name 3 companies that manufacture skilsaws?

 

[snickerd3]

nope skilsaw is a trademark thing that has come interchangable, like Bandaids instead of bandage

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Skil is a brand name, they were the first to make circular saws popular. Now several people refer to them as skilsaws in a similar way they refer to Xerox machines (copiers, although this one is fading), Qtips (cotton swabs), Bandaids (bandages), and Coke (soda).

I guess I need to write (sarcasm) on some of my posts....

when I worked at Home Depot people would come in and say, "Hey where can I find the Dewalt Skilsaws at?"
