Talking You might be a phone guy if...

I'll start it off...

You might be a phone guy if you've ever used your snips to trim your nose hair...
You have twice as many phone jacks as phones in your house.
You color with your four year old and start with blue, then orange, then green, then brown, then.......
Use D-Rings and Mushrooms to hang up almost everything.
If you have changed your caller id so your wife thinks you are on your way home and NOT at the office...

Re: You might be a phone guy if...

... if you have more stock in your basement than your employer has in his warehouse..
... if your wife and kids need a half day training to make a call from your house...
... if you laugh at the actors on JAG who pronounce PRI as "pry line" and blame electrical fuses when their "pry line" fails
... if it takes 10 minutes to make room for 1 passenger in your work vehicle
... if you're never in want of a maglight or screwdriver
