The Furniture Psychic

**Dear Madame Eve, Furniture Psychic.

I can’t help noticing that every time I open my junk drawer my vast collection of Ikea allen wrenches forms a new and intriguing patterns.

Is it possible to predict the future of my furniture by casting the I-Ching with my allen wrenches instead of Yarrow Sticks? How might I interpriet them? **

I hope Madame Eve does not have the audacity to answer this. She is indisputably the Furniture Psychic, but I am the Wrench Reader. Socket, box, crescent, open end, allen, you name it. I also have a limited ability with pliers.

There’s a joke in there somewhere about how well a man can use a tool, but damned if I can come up with it right now.

It’s not the size of the tool; it’s how you use it.

I will refrain from commenting on the significance of having a limited ability with pliers.

I know nothing about how you feel about your tool, but I can tell you how your tool feels about being used. Most of them love it, especially if they’re kept well oiled and polished.

But what about when other people want to use your tools?

And does my wife have the authority to forbid the use of my tool by others?
