I have a guy for that

“You know how I’ve got a guy for everything? Well, they’re all in New York. My suit guy, my shoe guy, my ticket guy, my club guy… and if I don’t have a guy for something I have a guy guy to get me a guy. And oddly enough, his name is Guy.”

Every time Barney Stinson says "I have a guy for that" it totally resonates with me because I?  Say that all the time.   And it's true.  I have a guy for almost anything you can think of.  Need a plumber?  I can give you no fewer than four numbers of guys I know.  Carpentry?  Check.  Electrician?  You betcha.  Landscaper?  Yep.  Tech guy to fix your computer?  Heck, back in my teaching days (when kids brought in their work on floppy disks, yo) I had a rep of being That Lady Who Knew a Guy who could get almost anything--anything--off that disk so a kid could turn in their work.  I was legen (wait for it....) dary for knowing a guy who could pull data off a disk.
I have a small engine repair guy.  I have a car repair guy.  I have a tree guy, a wetlands guy and a prairie guy.  I can find a guy who can get you hooked up with fireworks and game tickets and used cars and custom-built cabinetry (actually, these are four different guys).  I have a guy who does brick work, I know a floor guy, a pinball machine repair guy, a guy who paints, a drywall guy,  a guy who can fix your antique grandfather clock, a guy who can clean your carpet, a guy who can dig a pond in your back yard and sell you the gravel to line the bottom of it.

It takes a village to keep Green Girl's world running in perfect order.

I'm always handing out the name and/or number of a guy to friends in need.  It's my special gift, I guess, to know all kinds of people who do all kinds of things.  Waaaaay back, during my bartending days, I used to collect jobs the way some people collect shot glasses or bells.  A guy would come into the bar and I'd say, "So, what do you do?"  It was interesting to hear what people did for a living and I heard it all--from blues traveler to professional wrestler to dry cleaning equipment repairman.  That's partly why I know a guy for almost anything you can think of.  Plus, a lot of my regular customers were plumbers, electricians, construction workers and car repair experts.  It was really convenient as a poor college student to have any number of people at my disposal to give me a hand when I had car trouble.  I'll never forget one guy in particular who ran a salvage yard--he replaced a broken windshield on my Pontiac LeMans for me for free.  Because I was working my way through college.  Such a kindness.

Here and there I continue to collect all nature of guys who do various things.  If you required a guy, I could recommend my financial adviser guy, my bank guy, my butcher guy and my heating and cooling guy.

Yeah, I have a guy for that.  And they're all really good guys.  When a fellow Bumble Book Clubber, girlfriend, neighbor, mom at a baseball game muses, "Oh, _____ is broken at our place and we need to find someone to repair/build/replace it."  That's when I announce, "I have a guy for that."   It's true.  I always do.
