In all fairness.... It is quite a bit different from where I come from.

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

A shaft was stuck on a bearing and had actually pulled the bearing out of the wheel (we were exploring options).

me: "I think we need the persuader on this one."
One of the other mentors: "Let me try." (pops it off with no apparent effort)
Student and me: "Whaa--?"
Me: "Well, we still need the persuader. We need to put the bearing back." (as in, back in the wheel)

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

You forgot the part where i mention that my house cat weighs about 30 pounds, causing him to rethink the weight of his mountain lion. :D
