"I,
Jill, Swear..." - Silly promissory oath heard on the situation comedy
HOME IMPROVEMENT/ABC/1991-99.

Jill and Tim Taylor with sons
Frequently, home fix-it guru Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor (Tim Allen)
got frustrated with his wife, Jill (Patricia Richardson) for always messing with his garage tools
without asking permission first.
To assuage the situation, Tim finally made his wife take the following oath. "I, Jill. swear by this Binford Cordless
Ratchet Wrench, I will never touch my husband's tool bench ever again."
Jill ran away when Tim, as if anointing her, said "You must now be
smeared with the golden grease of distain."
