Go get me some blinker fluid..

When I was in the navy we used to send newbs up to the bridge for relative bearing grease

That was if we liked them, if we didn't, we'd send them to the fire room for a BT punch
 
In a steel mill, we'd tell the noobs they had to 'smell the inside hole on the coils to make sure they were annealed right'.

We'd have guys asking what they should smell like.

"You'll know, dude. You'll know."
When I was in construction I started on this new crew, new to crew not construction. Anyway, first day there I was sent looking for “toe nails” of course they are on my feet, I played along, came back about an hour later and said, thanks for the break, now is there any work you would like me to do? They didn’t send me looking for “parts” anymore.. commercial job, easy to hide..
 
In asbestos abatement the workers would tell the probies to sniff the powder to get to know the smell so they
could get real good at it and be able to smell it in a room when they walk in. My crew built the room containment areas
for them to remove the 'stos. We'd watch them at work through the clear viewing windows, no masks, eating lunch, getting high, dusty room, full of 'stos, bosses rolled their eyes, law suits pile up.
They were swell guys....
all in good fun right
 
Some old got me and I still use it on people when I can.

I was painting and he hollered over
Move that brush the other way.

Confused I went up, down, vertical
He still kept on and eventually
I just asked, what way.

He shouted
Fast!
 
Get me some Deck leveler
A bucket of steam
And some uhhhhh,
Tranverse water tight bulkhead remover.
While their at it... this screwdriver is messing with me. I need a left handed one.


When I was first started plumbing I was an annoying kid trying to learn everything I can about it. I was working with someone asking way too many questions. He told me to go dig down in the back yard to find a pipe. I dug and dug. No pipe. He just wanted me to leave him alone
