off topic but when I was 14 working on a construction site I was told to go fetch a crooked 2x4. The carpenters started yelling at me to move my ass cuz they needed it. I spent 30 minutes walking around asking for it and got sent all over the job site.....

24.Brake fluid:chemical used to strip paint off flawless motorcycle paint during general motorcycle maintenance.

[Not now, Not ever!]

Did that once with a metal watch band.

I was using channel-locks to remove a brake spring when, you guessed it, it slipped and drew blood above my eyebrow. I immediately discovered it also acted as a boomerang when I got mad and threw it only to find it ricochet'd back to hit me in the face again.

If it can't be done with a hammer and vice grips then I can't do it.

My favorite part of engineering are the general notes.

1. Paint to match.
2. Cut to shape.
3. Hammer to fit.

I just got through putting a new DRO scale on my milling machine, and while waiting for the CNC program to calibrate it, I logged on to check the forcast and FR.

Thanks for the laugh.

A little off topic, but when I was in the seventh grade I waiting behind another guy in shop class to use the table saw. He must have jerked the board or something, because it suddenly hurled the board into his crotch at a very high speed. He had to be taken out in a stretcher. I've been frightened of table saws ever since.

Bump!

[P.O.E.]

What you mess up with framing you cover with wallboard.
What you mess up with wallboard you cover with tape.
What you mess up with tape you cover with spackle.
What you mess up with spackle you cover with molding.
What you mess up with molding you cover with paint.

Perfect!
