Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
We were building a trailer today, and it was just me and a junior. We got into some pretty dumb coversations.
Me: "We're making lots of wood chips." Him: "Chips? like Sun Chips? Maybe this is how they make them." Me: "My hands are so full of sawdust. At least when I eat I'll get plenty of fiber." Him: "You'll be constipated tomorrow." Me: "Clamp it down." Him: "Fine, gosh." Me: "Don't argue, its time to climpity-clamp that clamping piece of clamp to the drill press. CLAMP!" Me: "Meow go get the pvc meow, cut it to the right lengths, and don't screw up. Meow go." Him: "Stop with the supertroopers references." |

This all happened during a tour we gave to kids from local elementary schools.
"Wow...That was really bright..." Kid on welding arc, after forgetting to flip down face shield. "I don't have a daddy..." Kid after our team leader said the dewalt shifters we use are like the tools in your daddy's garage. "Why did all the lights go out?" Kid on auto-darkening welding masks. Finally a conversation about the lead-filled hammer we used to kick trackballs last year... Smalls: "Yeah...this hammer is pretty heavy, we filled it with lead" Kid: "Lead?" S: "Uh...Yeah?" K:"Lead Lead?" S:"Yeah, like the element, I didn't really think there was any other kind..." K :"Like Element 82 Lead?" (Note: The periodic table memorizing prodigy is also the kid who forget to flip down the visor of his welding mask AFTER RECIEVING EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION) Kid probably should have learned about the effects of UV rays before the periodic table. |

We had to use a big drill bit (no, I don't remember the size). It was big enough that our mentor won't let us use it. He finished drilling the hole and handed me the drill. He took the drill bit out and held it out to me.
Me- "Don't give me that! I'll go shove it in someone's eye!" He laughed and put it on the table. Mentor- "Now, that you can put on CD." (When ever someone says something really inappropriate, I say "That's going on Chief Delphi." and he says "No, it's not."

SO, one of our brilliant team members, in a fit of frustration over parts not working right, dumped about a tablespoon of Tajin in his mouth and then took a BIG swig of Coke...WELL it seems that when Tajin and Coke mix there is a MASSIVE chemical reaction that causes more fizz than you've ever seen in your entire life to form (think Mentos and Diet Coke)...and this occurred in his mouth...he ran for the trashcan, spit everything out and came up for air yelling,..."It came out my nose!!!"... |

Newb: They told me to go get a wrench. Us: Oh, ok. a few minutes later the newb walks past in the opposite direction to head back to the group below, holding pliers... Me: :confused: Those didn't took much like a wrench... Others: Yeah...they weren't... a few minutes later the kid comes back hanging his head to get the wrench... and walks past again with something else...still not a wrench... |
