Let's try the high road...

First and foremost we agree lol, and we also agree that in person is much better. It's hard to not think someone who's a self proclaimed smartass is not being snarky, next time just say "I think it's cool" and we all will get it. Or die of shock. Either way I think you need to give poking the bear a break and buy him a cheeseburger next time he's in town. You two got along quite well.
Trust me I'm not the only one who proclaims it LOL.. I've had more than one customer asked me if it's time for me to go home yet LOL..
I've spun my tools so much that they feel natural in my hand and I'll watch a customer struggle for a little bit and go over and put a nut or bolt in that he's been struggling with for 10 minutes and ask him if he was trying to make a career out of that? LOL.. you know just fun and poking at each other... They all feel sorry for my poor wife..
Do you remember the first thing that I said as soon as I came up to your booth at that swap meet?...
I'M LOOKING FOR SNOWMOBILE PARTS!!..
