AD Wins a Bet

Today my company's maintenance supervisor noticed me prying open the tabs on a metal pail lid with the tip of my Active Duty. I had some desaturation samples inside and I couldn't find a screwdriver, so the AD was pressed into duty.

He stopped by and told me that I should go find a better tool because I was going to break the tip off my nice looking knife.

"Probably not", I replied.

He wasn't convinced. Luckily we were standing next to a concrete block wall. I told him he could drive the little knife through the wall with a hammer and it wouldn't break the tip off. Somehow we got around to a bet where he agreed to give me what I paid for the knife if it came through unscathed and if it didn't, I was out a knife.

So, long story short, there is a new Busse owner out there and another guy happy about getting a new knife, essentially free of cost. AD 1, block wall 0.
 
nice... :cool: :D

that is awesome... and the ad is far from being the stoutest busse blade around

pretty good winnings too:eek:
 
Congratulations! Way to bring in a new convert! :)

It's a good thing you weren't using an Off Duty or he never would have made that bet. :eek:

I knew it!!! Someone mentioned an Off Duty, there was a very noticable disturbance in the force ;)
 
Sweet.

I'm gettin all choked up. I love these stories.

Can ya get pics of the wall??
 
In some circles, that is what is labelled as a "win-win" situation. :D
 
Screw pics of the wall, how about a pic of the supervisor's face when the AD came out on top.

Wait - did he pay up on the bet, then get an AD for his own? Or did you give him the AD that went through the wall and buy another one?

Either way, the bet wasn't exactly fair. If the AD hadn't survived, the Busse warranty would've kicked in. Ah, well. No regrets. :cool:
