Hello Everyone

Time to get serious!!


Subject: Two Italian nuns

Two Italian nuns are riding their rickety old bikes down the back streets of
Rome late one afternoon. It starts getting dark and the two nuns are getting a little nervous.

One leans over to the other and says, "You know, I've never come this way before."

The other nun says, "It's the cobblestones."

Subject: the new priest

The new priest is nervous about hearing confessions, so he asks the older
priest to sit in on his sessions. The new priest hears a couple confessions,
then the old priest asks him to step out of the confessional for a few
suggestions.

The old priest suggests, "Cross you arms over your chest, and rub your chin
with one hand."

The new priest tries this.

The old priest suggests, "Try saying things like, 'I see, yes, go on,' and 'I
understand. How did you feel about that?'"

The new priest says those things.

The old priest says, "Now, don't you think that's a little better than
slapping your knee and saying 'No ****?!? What happened next?'"
 
Cobalt,

It's good to have you back. I've missed your sensitive, even poetic, observations.

Could you repost your poem about the bench grinder? As I recall it brought tears to my eyes when I first read it. Also wine up my nose and all over the keyboard.
 
Howard, I don't even remember the darn thing.

I make them up as I go and don't write them down, since they aren't worth anything.

 
Cobalt,

How could I forget your immortal poem?

Here it is, once again, for posterity.

I'm sitting here watching the sunset,
after having stuck my finger in an electrical outlet,
It feels good to rest,
after that 240 volts hit my chest,

Sitting here I feel ire,
for my house cought on fire,
I sit here contemplating this single occurance,
and the fact that I have no insurance,

All my elegant belongings which I once boasted,
are now quite roasted,
as I sat there picking up a half burned paper saying "hola",
my friend asked me if that was the name of a dirty magazine named Hola,
I said " no, it's what's left of my good buddy Ang Khola"

So the next time you decide to install a large belt grinder,
this is just a little reminder,
using 240 volt to power 480 volt,
may give your life a real jolt.

Mohd: as you can see from Howard's post above, the old Cobalt was much worse.

What worries me is he's had six or seven months to save up these things in his head and he's going to deteriorate to even lower depths.

I just hope Cobalt and Vampire Gerbil.....

Ma'am, I DID NOT call you an unfit mother.
The judge did that in this court order.
 
Come to think of it, that reminds me.
Remember when cop cars and fire engines had real electro-mechanical fan sirens that mounted on the fender? I had one of those sirens under the hood of my 1961 Ranchero, and wired it through a push/release type switch.

Only problem was when I got the thing really wailing, the Ranchero was 12 volt and the siren 6 volt and it melted the switch. I had to pop the hood and pull the wire free before it caught something on fire. And before someone ( like the local constabulary ) figured out where the sound was coming from.

Those of you with electrical expertise are probably wondering if the circuit was so hot it melted the switch, wouldn't the rest of the wiring be hot too? As a matter of fact it was starting to melt the insulating plastic coating the wires. Did I mention I was barehanded when I ripped out the wiring?

Ah, being a teenager. That was more fun than the time I got chased by the Highway Patrol thru the middle of Modesto at 120 MPH. A Budweiser truck cut him off and by the time he got around it I had hidden in a truck parking lot.

The older I get, the more I appreciate the statute of limitations.

So are we going to start dragging the skeletons out of the closet now.

I have a similar story, but I'm not telling.

Bill, I know how you can charge $10,000 to the government for each khukuri. Sell it to them as a SMASHD (Severe Multipurpose And Strategic Hacking Device).
 
We have ignition.

Harrassment in this forum will not be reported. It will, however, be graded.
 
Welcome back Cobalt. We've not had the pleasure of "meeting" yet. I logged on as you were leaving. Your jokes just made me inhale my coffee! Outstanding! Hopefully I'll be able to participate here more often again. (I've been away for a while) I think you'll find that while there are many new faces here and much has changed (for the better!) this is the same old place as when you left. Lots of good people here.

Mike
 
Thanks all, It's good to be back . Gonna have to get back into the swing of things, since I have been out of it for so long.

There may be a few( more like a ton) of new people, but I'm sure the quality of this forum has only gone up because of it. The old group is still around just keeping busy I guess.

Cliff, congrats on having your own board, you definitelly deserve it, since I know of no one who is more non-biased when it comes to testing blades.
