Sad thing is...some young new squid is going to is going to run out to the store and ask for blinker fluid and a metric crescent wrench...which you don't need for this job.

Probably boats my crew has to take Propwash samples every hour or so make sure we are putting out the right volume.

Ever seen someone try to hold a 5 gallon bucket against 1400 HP propwash poor deckhands !!!!

Somewhere out West, Which way did I go?

They're out there, and they vote too. 

When I was in High School, I worked at a burger joint.  We had a newbie one day... we were having a heck of a time finding a job he could do.  He couldn't make change, he couldn't figure out how to make sandwiches, he couldn't make fries... you can only clean the dining room so many times in a shift.  Near the end of the shift, we'd shut down one of the deep friers and told him to haul the vat out back and dump the oil into the 55 gals drum out back.  He came back in and said:  "The drum is full".  We asked him if he'd stomped it down... he says "nope" and heads back out towards the back.  We nearly fell over each other trying to get to the back door quietly to see what was going to happen next.  Sure enough... he hoists one foot up and into the drum.  Now... as his hoof vanishes inside the semi gelatinous ooze... what does he do?  Yup... up goes the other hoof and he's up to his waist in goo.  The eruption of laughter must've scared him half to death as we all clambered back to the kitchen area.  A minute later... "slop... slop... slop..." here he comes, slipping and sliding along the back hallway.  He made his grand entrance, fully enraged and continues on out the side door with his coat in hand and we never saw him again.

Was on a big outage conference call, a client's server in Europe didn't have the right time which was messing things up.

I told the manager on the line that it was okay, because they use metric time in Europe, so there's really not a problem...

I ASSUMED the manager got the joke... BIG mistake...

Hour later we're on the call directly with the client, and the manager starts explaining to the client that their time isn't really off, it's just that that server is in Europe, and thus is running on metric time...

Everyone had to quickly mute their phones to hide the howls of derisive laughter Bruce...

I was a Machinist Mate in the Navy.  I worked in the nuclear power plant on a submarine.  People would send the greenies back to see me to get a "Machinist Punch".  which I would deliver as easily, or harshly as I felt necessary.

There were also bulkhead stretchers.  Or buckets full of steam.  The Machinist Punch was my favorite though.

That sounds like an Army or Marine question to me.  Better go ask RJ.  On submarines, we had Galley Lines.  I think its the same stuff... but you better get your from a Jar-Head, JUST to be sure.

Well we also have a Mail Buoy and my favorite the Lock Key and that is a funny one.

When I had been on the river about a year or so we were going up the Ohio river and we had a green deckhand and just for the ocassion the Engineer had cut out a "Lock key" out of some plate steel it was pretty heavy.   Well the Captain had called ahead to the Lock master and told him about the joke. So when we get to the Lock the mate tells the deck hand to go out and give the Lock master the Lock Key.

The deckhand goes out and the Lock Master sends a line down and goes out and uses the key on the Gate  2funny 2funny so this goes on till the deckhand goes to another boat and well you can bet the Captain had a call from the next boat  2funny

Be careful, and make sure you use MOTORCYCLE synthetic blinker fluid, and not just any old synthetic blinker fluid that's made for cars, or your motorcycle will explode, your dog will die, your wife will leave you, your girlfriend will move in, and your mistress will raise her rates!

Would this be a good time to remind everyone it's time to change out the winter air in your tires for summer air?  I always do mine when I change the blinker fluids.
