Shouldn't be smoking while filling up the tank...maybe add a flare gun to the EDC list...but that's just me. If I had one, a flamethrower would be EDC.
Me and WiscoDave were joking just last week about him needing to buy a flamethrower to clear the snow out of his drive and now I'm getting ads for flamethrowers and napalm mixes.
A lit cigarette only ignites gasoline in the movies. There was a Mythbusters segment about it that's worth a watch. This would require a match or flare, and would put the person holding the nozzle and probably everybody within a block at some risk.
Had I been there I would have been so tempted to chase those monkeys around with my lighter, and enjoy the shrieks of terror. Call it rehabilitation.
#1: As my first Navy shop supervisor taught me, "Always give the hardest job to the laziest worker you got. They'll come up with the easiest way to do it.

At first I thought you wrote: "At a German wife fest?" :) But then I realized how wrong I was - it's obvious they only have bear fests. And that's probably what you're looking at.
Lots of wine in Germany. Neustadt on der Vinestrasse or the new city on the wine road. I've been to quite a number of wine fests in Germany. Better imho than French wine.
#10 Does fuel actually come out of the nozzle with that kind of force? I have tanks at home and rarely go to gas station. Mine don't have near that kind of pressure.
Yes. Yes it does. The pumps have quite a bit of pressure behind them. They need to, in order to fill a 30Gal tank in a reasonable time. I've filled quite a few gas cans and you sometimes have to be careful of the spray, it's fierce.
#10: "Hey! We dindu nuffin!" They're gonna reek of gas for DAYS and there's absolutely nothing anybody can do about it. And getting that in your eyes is hell on Earth. DESERVED IT.
Best batten down the hatches Kenny, you and Lisa have some bad weather comin'!
ReplyDeleteIt's spring in Tennessee. It's expected. Hell, it's entertainment; we fix a drink & go out on the porch to watch it coming.

#1 work smarter, not harder
ReplyDelete#2 being at sea can be exciting
#4 is cool
#7 is weird, gross
#10 is righteous
#10 would most certainly be righteous if the intended victim had tossed a lit cigarette into the van as it pulled away.

DeleteBut Brandon says you can't have a flamethrower. (And he's wrong.)

DeleteAnd you enter the ranks who have proven your phone is always listening.

Computer, not phone. I don't own a smartphone.
DeleteThey are all pretty much smart phones these days, even the flip phones. Better check to see what OS your phone uses, it might be Android.
DeleteNah, then I'd have to find it, then charge it, then turn it on. I'm just not that ambitious today.
Delete"Me and WiscoDave were joking just last week about him needing to buy a flamethrower"
DeleteWhen the world gets so fucking weird having a flamethower went from being a joke to being not a bad idea.
Oh yeah, the conversation went from using it to clear his drive of snow to using it to clear his drive of liberals real quick.
DeletePropane weed torch and a 300 mph leaf blower.

ReplyDeleteLove #10; "Here, have a couple gallons on me."
Give me ten bucks on pump 8.
DeleteBut also put your best worker close by to keep an eye on how things are progressing. I am also a SCPO retired.
Delete#4 that's great until the kid throws up on the upswing...
ReplyDeleteSRSLY a gross compendium but yeah, i bought 12 bic lighters for the car for a proper send off.
ReplyDelete#10 Worth every penny of gas. Spooks thought po ol white boy, he aint gonna fight back. Wrong motha fucka.
ReplyDelete#10 ~ worth every penny at the pump.
ReplyDelete#1 Getting ready to sweep or swab the floors. I lived in a bar and from the time I was eight until well in my teens my job was to clean the bar, dance hall, shit houses and fill the coolers. Every morn barstools upside down on the bar.
ReplyDelete#3: Molting season.
ReplyDelete#10: Spark. Spark. Come on spark.
#2 first day on the job? Dumbass
ReplyDelete#10, either South Africa or Atlanta. Too bad he didn't have a zippo handy or there could have been some crispy negros today. Gotta love it.
ReplyDelete#1 At a German wine fest?

ReplyDeleteDoes fuel actually come out of the nozzle with that kind of force?
I have tanks at home and rarely go to gas station. Mine don't have near that kind of pressure.
Yes. Think about how many gpm they pump.
DeleteYes. Yes it does. The pumps have quite a bit of pressure behind them. They need to, in order to fill a 30Gal tank in a reasonable time. I've filled quite a few gas cans and you sometimes have to be careful of the spray, it's fierce.
Delete#10 what type of gasoline pump sprays like a garden hose?
ReplyDeleteMost of them.
Delete#10: when you regret that you quit smoking so no longer carry a lighter.
ReplyDeleteThe danger is that the intended victim and his car were both covered. I'm hoping they made a spark a block or two away.
DeleteWould have loved to have #4 when my kids were that age.
ReplyDelete#7. Liberals.
ReplyDelete#5. Looks like poochie had a wager on that race. From the ending, I'd guess his horse won.
ReplyDelete#2 Ah, the joys of working on the deck of an anchor handling workboat during a rig move in some rough seas....
ReplyDelete#6: Waiting for a wave.
ReplyDelete#7: Quite the fetish you have there.
