Fresh out of the Navy in '93, I ran a small sensor assembly shop.
Most assembly fixtures had to be made by me out of whatever we had around. A lot of them involved wood or plastic, my pocket knife, and a hotmelt glue gun.
Well the Ladies started calling me Mcgyver, I had no idea what it meant. (I was out to sea for most of the shows run)
One night in a hotel room with cable, I caught a rerun of the old show and realized that it was some kind of complement.
I kind of like it (until the Superbowl add that is)
