Ok, I know I'm going to open myself up here, probably to being called a tool, but....what does it mean to be called a "tool?" Are there multiple meanings? And why didn't I get the memo about this??

Yeah, there's some double-entendre there. I believe the rock group "Tool" uses this ambiguousness to their advantage (he says, closing his book of understatements).
Heh, heh. There was a guy in my high school english class that always wore the tool shirt with the very phallic wrench on the back. Our english teacher called him "tool" the entire year. Not that any of you care...it was just a funny memory for me. ;)

That it is correct. But do not forget the clairifiers: -some one who is a bigger tool than usual is a "tool box" as in "That guy is such a tool, he's a tool box." -someone who is a bigger tool than a "tool box" is a "tool shed" as in "That guy is such a tool box, he's a tool shed." -and the ultimate tool, "home depot" as in "That guy is such a tool shed, he's Home Depot".

We're putting brand new cover sheets on all the TPS reports. Did you get the memo?

So I just watched Office Space tonight for the first time in a while and I was wondering: Does anyone know the name of that song they play at the end...you know when he's sitting on the beach drinking his margarita. It sounds really familiar and I just can't think of the name. Any help would be appreciated.
Kevin please turn sarcasm detectors on
