Once upon a time, there was an auto mechanic named Tom. Tom was a skilled mechanic, but he had a bit of a problem: he was always losing his 10mm socket.
It didn’t matter how hard he tried to keep track of it, that little socket always seemed to slip away from him at the worst possible moments.
One day, Tom was working on a car engine with a few other mechanics. He was feeling pretty good about himself until he realized he had once again misplaced his trusty 10mm socket.
The other mechanics began to tease him, asking him if he had checked his pockets and his toolbox. Tom searched high and low, but the socket was nowhere to be found.
As the day went on, each mechanic began to lose their own 10mm socket, one by one. The first mechanic lost his in the engine, the second dropped his in the oil pan, and the third lost his in the air filter.
Tom couldn’t help but chuckle as he watched his coworkers frantically searching for their sockets, realizing that they were all in the same boat.
In the end, they all learned a valuable lesson: sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you’re bound to lose your 10mm socket. But at least they could all laugh about it together.
From that day forward, whenever they lost their 10mm sockets, they would just shrug their shoulders and say, “Guess it’s time to join Tom’s club.”
