Some are repeats, some are from blogs on Ken's blog roll, some are new. Regardless, all good stuff. Especially Herb, the Human Bore Snake. He reminds me of pulling a breech birth calf.
#3 - I had an uncle who served on a PT boat in the South Pacific in WWII. Being the skinniest guy in the crew, his job was to clean and grease the torpedo tubes on the deck of the boat. To clean the tube after battle, he was dragged through with fuel soaked rags tied around his ankles by a rope. The tube had to be re-greased after cleaning so they repeated the process with fresh rags smeared with grease.
#3 Flash back. Yup, ya never tie a rope to just one leg when going into a tunnel. If you do and your buds try to pull you out one leg could get cocked up and there ya are stuck fast.
My Dad was a pipefitter so sometimes the only way to fix a vessel was pop in with a pipewrench. He could deal with tight spots but was always concerned the operations folk would re-energize the vessel while he was still in it. The plant made synthetic rubber and rocket fuel. I remember the morning it blew sky high. Good thing Dad hadn't left for work yet; LOTS of OVERTIME for the old man, bless his heart!
#4 - Wheel barrows with two wheels. What an impractical idea. My wife bought one because "two wheels would be better." It works okay on flat ground or on driveways, otherwise useless pieces of crap. The one my wife bought ended up on our porch for moving firewood from the back of the house to the side door. Otherwise useless on a rural farm type property.
As for repeats, I have not seen these before. I read this blog every day and go until I hit the previous day's posts. I don't recall seeing any of these. But, then again, my memory ain't what it once was.
50% Reruns from the other day
ReplyDeleteYou must've seen them on another site, because I delete them out as soon as I schedule them. There's no way I can rerun them.

DeleteDoesn't matter. Watching the streetlight fall on that fuckers head again was worth it.

DeleteLol. Either from Bayou, Borepatch, or Bustedknuckles. Someone had a lot of those recently.
Delete5 - Wait till the asshole who opened his door into traffic finds out that he’s on the hook for damage he did to the other car! :)
ReplyDeleteIn a just world the stupid fucker would be as dead as last week's roast duck.
DeleteI will never cease to be amazed at the number of people who go through life with their heads up their asses.
#3 - I was going to ask why no women were on the job.
ReplyDeleteThen I saw #4
#6: We hear a lot about CRT these days. I approve of this CRT lesson. I see it was well received.
