Only NM has to include USA on their license plate. You have to wonder how many po-po asked about their travel papers when pulling someone over due to the foreign plate...
#9, I quit smoking, but didn't want to. We all know it is bad for our health. Plus the cost is just way to high for my finances. I think that you can smoke dope cheaper than tobacco. I like #19 just because so many people today seem like they are idiots. I don't remember people being that stupid, something changed. The NEA perhaps?
#11 - It used to be said that putting a ring on a woman's finger was tantamount to pulling the ripcord on an inflatable raft. Sadly, they don't wait for the ring anymore.
#19 I moved to Florida from New Mexico. When it came time to go to the DMV and register my truck, I gave the lady my title. She looked at it for a long time and then finally went to her supervisor and showed it to him. He stated loudly, New Mexico is a state!. Unbelievable! Then a month later my wife goes to a different DMV and the exact same thing happened.
During the Atlanta Olympics they had to hold classes for the ticket call center to explain "NO! New Mexico callers are NOT to be transferred to the International Desk." Closer to home, a government PBX (phone exchange) operator was repeatedly asked "What's the area code for Washington STATE?" The operator (undoubtedly educated in DC public schools) repeatedly said "212"(DC) rather than 360 or 564 (at the time). She was astounded to learn there was a state named Washington.
Folks at Lowe's don't even KNOW what a thread gauge is. We old farts just look and say "quarter twenny" or "quarter twennyeight", or " #10 thirtytwo". And we can do this WITHOUT PUTTING OUR READING GLASSES ON. That's why all the little baggies of fasteners are torn. "Oh Please, Wise Old Fart, is this fastener 3/8" NPT, 3/8" Comp (and what is that anyway?), 3/8" Fl (ditto)? "
I went looking for brass rod. Couldn't find it. Finally, the guy who touted himself as the expert asks, 'solid or hollow?"
I stared dumbfounded for a moment while waiting for him to realize. He didn't. I said, hollow is tube, rod is solid. I'm looking for rod. He copped and attitude and took a step towards me. So I asked if he had been a cop. He said yes.
NPT threads are tapered, the threads form the seal. Flare and Comp threads are parallel and apply pressure to the end of the pipe to form the seal. This is why my service truck has dozens of bins of fittings, I never know what was used on the original install.
#19 I met a middle aged rando near Richmond, Virginia years ago that asked me where I was from. I replied "West Virginia. He says "Oh yeah, I've been to western Virginia". I didn't trouble myself with trying to explain it was a separate state.

ReplyDelete#13: Kids do struggle with basic math now. If you've ever seen Common Core math, it's obvious why. Thanks Obama.
