Shop Time w/T.W. Friends.

Ive used a screwdriver on many of those...

 

That’s the added bonus. Not a very good anti theft device but that’s what shotguns are for.

 

I take this as a No?

 

Pick me! I know... ('cause I have a car with both those)

 

Workers can break a good anvil with a plastic hammer....
Even if you give them nice things -- still the same, don't miss it.

 

Yes, a no...

 

You keep quiet -- let em' sweat...

You have a Rambler I believe. That would have one. I had a 71 Gremlin that used the same system, just not with a foot pedal.

 

Heh, yea their ability to royally "F" something up is limitless!

Although my reputation for being able to work on these things is pretty apparent. There's certain drivers that will only bring them to me Or maybe that I try my best to work with them on getting them serviced. Typically I'll grab another one for them to use (managers like to "hide" them and use them as their personal transport) so they can keep tugging and not be sent into a trailer to unload. Or if it's not pressing I'll tell them to drop it off in between sort changes.

 

Ive known people like that. Ive even said to them i didnt know that could break but here we are...

 

Well fellers, I just came in from 2-1/2 hours of mowing so this is fresh on my *mind*. If you enjoy (dark) humor as I do perhaps you will get a laugh too.

Hadn't mentioned it but for the first time in my life I got Poison Ivy, not too bad, my neck, chest, belly and a few spots on my hands. Here comes the funny bit:
When I was outdoors (working around the Poison Ivy) I must have felt the urge to use "mens privilege" - aka: whizzing out doors...
(The older you get the more often you whiz by the way.)

I will leave you to figure out, as Paul Harvey always said, "the rest of the story".

Let me just say that it has been a very distracting several days and leave it there.

 

That's terrible. I learned this lesson early, I used to get awful poison ivy rashes as a kid.

Calamine lotion!

 

I've had poison oak every place you can imagine, I can look at it and get it.

When my brother and I were young my dad gave us our own little place to play with the few toy tractors we had, it was a spot covered with poison oak. We both had it from head to toe and everywhere in between. We even missed some school because of it.

 

Been there before....

 

New poll, thanks for the idea

 

I dont know whats worse poison ivy or chiggers...

 

Got it on yer hootus huh? Worse than herculiner I bet...

 

None for the foreseeable future. But here's a sample

 

There's another poll idea.....

 

I had workers bring in electric tools so hot that you couldn't touch them and say "yeah, it was working fine and then some black stuff came out, it started smoking and quit".

Even better (at un-plausible deniability) are fork truck drivers:

driver (on phone) : yeah, we got a (fluorescent) light out down here -- dunno whats wrong...
I go down to department
driver: can you put bulbs in it -- dunno what happened to em'
me: No, the eight foot fixture is 6-1/2 feet long bent in a V
driver: dunno what happened
me: you are sitting on a fork lift, the light is 14 feet in the air, the floor is freshly swept
driver: dunno...
