A guy I work with had a Machinery's handbook 25th edition on the bookshelf of his cubical. I spied that and asked if I could take a look. I thumbed through it and said," hey thanks, I need one of these." He said, "Give that to me!!!!" While I was handing it back he opened his lower desk drawer, pulled out another copy and tossed it at me. "HERE! and shut the &$%^ UP!" He grinned a little. Knowing him, I think his wife got her engagement ring in a similar fashion. It amazes me how some people are so nice but don't want to be known or portrayed that way. Just in case you are wondering, I know for a fact he bought both books himself, they are not from a company. That's a nice gift, I told him I was only kidding but he insisted I take it. Damn nice guy. It renewed my faith in humanity which has been lagging lately.
