Funny/stupid story to share...

[Alero]

My wife and all of her female co-workers love to tell stories about the stupid things their husbands do. Amazingly, I usually come out smelling like roses in the comparisons!

However, all the women think my flashlight collecting hobby is hillarious and pretty nerdy (which is probably is, but I don't care!).

So the other day I had a half day off from work and decided to take my wife out to lunch. When I picked her up at the office, one of her firends asked how many flashlights I had on me.

I told her 2 lights. I was 100% certain I had 2 lights on me. She asked to see them so I pulled out my keychain with LOD on it and my little X1 I was fideting with at the time. By now, all of the girls were watching as I kept remembering that I had "just one other one" on me. After a minute of searching all of my pockets, it turned out I actually had 8 flashlights on me! 8!

Ever seen that stupid video where some government guy is showing how easy it is to conceal guns and he pulls about 25 guns out of his suit. That's how silly I probably looked. I had the LOD, Inova X1, River Rock 1xAA, a little Coast Lenser, my modded SF G2, Fenix EO, and a pair of Inova Microlights.

If there's ever an Olympic medal for eye-rolling, my wife will be bringing home an awful lot of gold!


I think next time I visit her up there I'll hide a Mag 6D in my jacket just to drive her nuts. Come to think of it, I always wanted a scabbard that fits on my back for it, like the ones the ninjas have to hold a sword.

Anybody else ever had 400% more lights on you that you though you did?

Once. And them my pants fell down from the weight. :eeksign:

Nothing nerdy about that ask any woman how many cosmetic items they carry and you'd be surprised.

Nice story, I could see it happening.

Since I've been wearing a coat, I was carrying one in each of my side pockets... Have an edc on my keys and an edc in my pants pocket.

Then I realized that I would never NEED 4 lights. So I emptied my jacket pockets, and I'm back to the normal two.

Your wife should relax, your nerdiness will rule out an affair with her coworkers! LOL

Unless one of them is a closet CPF'r. :kiss:

 

[kelmo]

I hadn't thought of that!

 

[Alero]

Ah true!

I think I'll go visit her this week with my custom lightsaber. That one really embarasses her! She won't even come out of the house on neighborhood watch nights if I go out carrying my lightsaber (plus my MRV in the other hand). The neighbors love it though!

I say, keep the 6d MAG in the pants and pull out a bunch of other lights. When one of your wives coworkers asks about the one in your pocket....say " thats not a flashlight"
It will be like the "enzyte" advertizments....you'll be the envy of all your wifes coworkers.:thumbsup:





On another note, Just the other night I realized I had 6 lights on me when at first I thought I had 2. My friend was laughing, but I know he's just jelous.

...It will be like the "enzyte" advertizments...

Aw-man now I got that stupid whistle in my head.

This is why I check my pockets before leaving the house!

My backpack on the other hand...

Same thing happens to me with pocket knives.

God help me if I ever get pulled over and a cop asks me "and do you have any knives on you?"

To which I would reply: "yes, just two... wait, 3.... oh, 4...., and there might be one _____....."

Currently 4 knives, but only 3 flashlights. I think....

Hello Alero,

The problem is not with the amount of lights you carry... the problem is with your math.

You have heard the saying that "one is none, and two is one," well in this case eight is two.

If I'm in my work clothes I have 3 knives and 4 lights on me.

Unless I have one or two in a back pocket, or one or two MORE in a coat, or.....

 

[Wicho]

Just wear a tritium jump suit and be done with it. :naughty:

Well, make sure it has lots of pockets. :devil:

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Ah true!

I think I'll go visit her this week with my custom lightsaber. That one really embarasses her! She won't even come out of the house on neighborhood watch nights if I go out carrying my lightsaber

Which one is the custom lightsaber?

 

[Valolammas]

Great story, thanks! I have sometimes had 1-2 more lights & knives than I thought I had, but never been off by that much.

I think next time I visit her up there I'll hide a Mag 6D in my jacket just to drive her nuts. Come to think of it, I always wanted a scabbard that fits on my back for it, like the ones the ninjas have to hold a sword.

Oh man, that would be hilarious! If anyone ever makes one of those, I may have to get a 6D Mag. As it is now, I find even the 3D a bit awkward to carry (not to use, just to carry).

Would you mind posting a pic of the custom light saber?

 

[Dantor]

that's funny, good story. you know I bet the next time one of them co-workers is in a dark place or the lights go out, they'll think of you!

 

[z96Cobra]

Next time ask them how many pairs of shoes they have, or purses... You can use more than one light at a time and it still "normal". Tell them to "use" more than one pair of shoes at a time or more than one purse and see what kind of looks they get!!! :nana:
