A heartwarming moment

[rgraham666]

We were discussing that sad incident where that poor girl was murdered by her nutbar father over at a Canadian forum I frequent. We're pretty close but it still got heated. Sigh.

One of them related this story.

Was in Sears at Fairview Mall last night doing some Xmas shopping and I poked my head into the hardware department. I was looking at a 14.4v hammer drill that was on sale (but was Mastercraft, the store's own brand -- unknown quality to me) and the guy next to me started asking me about drills. I didn't look at him at first, nor at the other guy who was standing just a little further down the aisle from us. The guy who was asking me about the drill was asking if a 19V hammer drill would be effective for doing work in a basement renovation DIY job. I said "sure" and then the third guy said "but you might want to look at a DeWalt or a Milwaukee product. They're really reliable." Just then I looked up, and the guy I had been talking to looked over to the third guy.
Then we all started grinning at each other.
The guy I'd been speaking to was an older South Asian wearing a Muslim skull cap and typical no-moustache beard, and the OTHER guy was about 30, wearing a yarmulke.
"I think this is a Hallmark moment" said the Jewish guy
"There is never a newspaperman around when you need one" said the Muslim guy.

Power tools. They transcend all national, religious and ethnic boundaries I think.

We're all just people.

Cool.

I think he only thing that would have made the scene better is if Lucky was there too as a fourth person.

Lucky is herself a power tool.
