To a helper that doesn't stop talking or asking questions when you are assessing the task at hand, lets say his name is Dan:

Me - "Hey Dan..."

Dan - "Yeah"

Me - "Your my helper right?"

Dan - "Yeah"

Me - "Can you get something for me?"

Dan - "Yeah, what do you need?"

Me - "Can you get me some silence?"

Dan - "Uh.....oh.....ok"

I don't have a pipe stretcher!

I only have a wire stretcher.

Does it work the same way?



How about "We aren't building a church"

I used to work with this older guy and he used to love love love to say "you know Tony a bird in hand is worth two in the bush" or " 6 and 1/2 or half dozen its your choice" and every time he would say one of those I used to want to stick my screw driver in my eye

You must have stuck the screwdriver in your ear. It is "6 of one or 1/2 dozen of another". Now go get your eye seen about.:grin:
 
One of my personal favorites...

One of my personal favorites...

Boss comes in on a Friday and says "Hey, stop working on that job. They can get someone cheaper."

Calls in on Monday "Hey, you got that job done yet?"

I said "Uh, you told me to stop working on it."

Boss "Yeah. They told him how long it would take them to draw it, and he wasn't happy with that."

Me "Ok."

Boss "We need it Friday."

I was in Big Orange once, and I ask the Ast. Manager where the nail straighteners were? She said in hardware and would show me..it was very funny, because she had a builder's license. After a while, she missed the humour in it.

you know after months and months of hearing it said you would think I could get it right. I think I just built a mental block to it. One time I said to him " Ted what the hell does the bird in the bush mean and he replied in his deep smokers voice " Well tony what do you think it means?" to which i replied well.... I guess its saying that if you should find your self in the Australian bush you should cherish any wild birds that may come across your path." ........ after that he couldn't say it without giggling and shaking his head....... What do you expect Im just a starship captain, Bones is the one with all the old timer sayings......

When my wife and I were moving into our home we were putting plates back on after having it painted she brushed a screw and jumped back. She made a comment along the lines of, "It wasn't like a shock, it was more like hitting your funny bone." I had to explain, "Baby, that is what it feels like.":)
 
Years ago I was severly shocked, someone that should have their butt kicked violated my LOTO. My wife called my dad and told him I had been electrocuted. Needless to say it took him some time to recover.
