[:D][8D][:D][8D][:D][8D] ----- What were those they pulled on you when you started in the gang ? Here's mine : I was a young buck at the time & this was before I saw the light of day : went back to school - mostly nights . Well here goes -------- I was working with the mechanics setting up a spring repair job on an old unit that had a fractured suspension support . Millwright : Okay kid ! here's what I need . Go over to the tool house & get me a left handed cresent wrench . Well off goes Phil like he really knows what's happening . About the time I arrived at the shed , I'd stopped & thought : Phil- Wait a minute , I know a little something about mechanics . They don't make a left-hand cresent ! [8D] So , I pick up a 12 inch cresent & headed back.[:D] Phil - Here's your 12" inch left-hand cresent .[;)] ( they never did give me a size ). They kinda' looked at me & after a few moments , and finally said - "What took you so damn long ! "[}:)][:0] I just smiled : handed them the wrench & booked around the end of the car to checkout the line fittings .[:o)] Never got asked to do that again ,& that ended the harassement . But , they did send another punk ( rookie / newbei ) over to the repair house to get a can of spotted paint . Too COOL! ! [8D] [8D] [8D] Let's hear your's--------------------Phil [8D]
