Being Funny in the Snap-On Truck
I noticed a Snap On truck outside a hangar I was visiting and stopped to ask the guy if he was open. He was, and invited me in. There were lots of very nice and expensive tools. He gave me a catalog and price list and told me when his schedule for that location. A couple of the helicopter techs were in there buying some pieces. One of them was wearing a NASCAR cap.
One of the guys inquired about some screwdrivers that were on special. The Snap On salesman responded that those were gone and all he had left was a Dale Earnhardt special edition screwdriver. It was in a special #8 shaped box. The tech picked it up and asked how it was different from one of their regular screwdrivers. I couldn't contain myself any longer. I blurted out "Because it only turns LEFT!"  For some reason they didn't find it as amusing as I did.

Rob - that was good! I bet it doesn't get along with the other "drivers" in the shop either!

What?!?!

That's one of those gags that are so quick that the one telling it laughs before, longer and louder than the audience.
My wife tells me I crack myself up! Ah, good times!

Good snap-on joke. I hope it was told in a total deadpan.

I was sitting here laughing hysterically while my wife looked at me like I was insane. When I finally stopped laughing long enough to explain the joke to her.... she didn't really stop looking at me like I was insane. I thought it was damn funnny though.
