Her: “What do you need this board for?” Me: “I just need it.” Her: “Why?” I didn’t want to get into all the reasons why a guy finds a 2-foot-square board useful. “I need it for ... purposes,” I said. She just rolled her eyes and poked at the next objects — wooden stakes. Her: “Can’t we get rid of all these? You never use them.” Me: “Yes I do.” Her: “For what?” Me: “To STAKE things.” This was going downhill fast. She grabbed a set of my truck floormats from a shelf.
