In humble tribute to the great southern comedian, Jeff Foxworthy, I thought I’d try a send up on this popular theme as it pertains to Toad. So here goes. If you have your own suggestions, just leave them as comments at the end of the blog!

1. The ‘ribbet’ sound announces to your cube-mates what time you’ve made it into work.
   Did you know you can disable the ‘ribbet’ and customize Toad to play any .WAV file you want?
    
2. Your mouse’s right-clicker tends to wear abnormally fast
   Everyone knows that Toad’s best features are just a right-click away!
    
3. You take more than 2 minutes to deliver a report or data export
   Unfortunately you’ve built quite the expectation of being super-speedy with your Oracle data.
    
4. Your reports tend to show up at 2AM the day they’re expected
   Of course you’re not working that late, but Toad’s task scheduler is working overtime!
    
5. Your PL/SQL and SQL looks pristine
   You’d sooner give up Word’s spell-checker than forgo Toad’s formatter.
    
6. You’re not used to hearing DBA’s gripe about supporting your code
   Tuning, debugging, unit-testing, and load-testing do not make you nervous.
    
7. You routinely have a string of people lined up outside your office
   You’re known as the person who can make magic happen in the Oracle database.
    
8. You’re comfortable working with Oracle versions 7, 11, and everything in-between
   Find another tool that supports Oracle better, I dare you.
    
9. You’ve had at least 3 different job titles around the Oracle domain
   Toad loves you whether you’re a developer, DBA, support person and facilitates transitions.
    
10. You have little problem finding that NEXT Oracle job
    Lucky for you that ‘Toad’ is listed as a requirement for the most serious Oracle job postings on Monster, Dice, and Twitter.
