What I Don't Like About My Silky Saw

My mother asked what I wanted for Christmas and so I told her. I learned long ago to answer the question or I'd just end up with something I will never use or wear. So I got a Silky Saw for Christmas. This evening I was showing it to my wife, and she opens the blade, looks at it and then says in a mockingly gay voice, "Scott got a Silky Pocket Boy for Christmas...sounds like a gay sex toy to me." :eek:

We will be seeing friends over the next few days. She will no doubt use her sissy-boy mocking tone as she tells them what I got for Christmas. I have yet to play with the SAW, although my wife is enjoying torturing me with it immensely. :) :o

Why can't it be called Thunder Saw, or Manly Man Saw?

Tha's hilarious. Try referring to it as just "the saw", and see if that helps. How does it cut? I have been considering getting one.
 
Yeah I'm pretty much gonna go with your wife on this one, that is an amazingly gay name.
My advice to you is- You need to stage an life threatening Emergency and somehow save your hole family with the saw.
 
I'd go with it. When she announces it to your friends, just laugh and tell them you got so jealous of her pocketboy, you wanted one of your own!
 
When your wife announces that you have got "A Silky Pocket Boy/gay sex toy'' the only way I can think to counter the joke is to tell your own. If it were me I would respond by saying (preferably while everyone is still laughing):

"Yes, yes it is true. After XXX many years/months of marriage I have been turned to the dark side by my dear wife. I am now a ghey. I'd like to thank my mother for introducing my very own Silky.''

or

''Well, sadly, I think me getting a Silky Pocket Boy is more a reflection on you than it is on me.'' (Maybe a comedic waggle or lift of the eyebrows at this point to make sure everyone knows you are joking and not sniping at your wife)

or

''Now dear I told you, you can have a go with my Silky later. There's no need to keep mentioning it. I know how keen you are to get your hands on it.''

Obviously you know your wife better than me and so will be better able to tailor your joke to better match her sense of humor. Fight fire with fire and if pitched at the right level then it should add to the general good humor of the moment and turn the tables on your wife. Whatever happens have a a good Xmas mate.
 
I think,.,.,. this may,.,.,. go on more than just the next few days. If youever take her camping or help her trim a few trees/branches in the yard, "look out folks' He's gonna whip out his Silky Pocket Boy, batteries not included." only option, buy her a flannel shirt and a chainsaw, she can be the man if she wants. Or just buy a dremel and polish off your Silky Pocket Boy, nice and smooth, no one will ever know.

Scott,

Your wife's powers of intuition, in this case, gaydar, is amazing. Heath Ledger played house with Jake Gyllenhall (however his name is spelled) in "Brokeback Mountain" and guess what he used to make the shelter? That's right, a silky pocket boy, not to be confused with the Ronco Pocket Cabin Boy or the Serbian Comfygirl from Gillette...the best a man can get. :D
 
I'm sure something got lost in the translation of the name :D

Real men carry Bahco Laplanders, a most masculine saw. Size matters :eek:
