The problem with this joke is that the wrench exhists. Handedness in a
wrench is determined by which thumb closes the jaws. Right thumb right
hand wrench, left thumb left handed wrench.

I have a left handed crescent type wrench. Where was it made?
POLAND of course.

Wrench available for inspection.

At 23, I took a job as a young engineer at a place that had previously been
a gyroscope manufacturer. As the new guy, they asked my to deliver a
briefcase to the boss' office and (you guessed it) there was a spinning gryo
in the briefcase. I got a big surprise when I tried to turn a corner in the
corrider and the briefcase kept going straight ahead! A great 'new guy'
trick.

Or send the new guy in engineering to supply for a pressurized
container of Dihydrogen Monoxide.

Careful that stuff is extremely deadly if inhaled.


Or send the new finance guy to get the difference finder.

Old Office supply joke. Goo get the paper stetcher. But I answered,
you want the one in the maintenance shop or the one in Mr. Anderaon's
(the owner's) Office. They VERY QUICKLY told me it was a joke. I told
them, "I know." Hated me ever since.




Why do you hate yourself?

You might try a Stetson.


Try a Dunce Cap (low capacitance) attached to your screwdriver and
manually adjust until your dip meter reads moron



Uh oh...feeling a bit testy today???

Not, not at all...didn't you see my ? No offense intended.


Ooops...please accept my apology.

Yep ! Me too. I have a 150mm "Crescent" wrench! Works great on metric
nuts & bolts.

Yeah, and I've had these two left handed pipe wrenches around for
years. This southpaw found them indispensable on galvanized, but can't
seem to get them to work on copper pipe.

Yeah. When I was in the RCAF many years ago, a common thing was to ask a
newbie to go to the tool crib for a bucket of propwash.

When I reached my first duty assignment in the USAF I was sent on a fools
errand to get 1000 yards of flight line. When I got to the place I was
suppose to pick it up I told the guys there that I knew what flightline was
but I had an idea for a joke on the guy that sent me down there.They were
very happy to help. We went out back of the base and loaded up a truck with
rubble from flightline construction then took it back and put it the POV
pickup of they guy who had sent me out. When I went back to the shop I told
him I had the flightline but didnt think I had the thousand yards he had
requested. This got him and everyone else in the shop curious and they all
wanted to see what I had brought back. Thats when I told him to go look in
the back of his pickup.

What good's a hat if it don't keep the antenna dry? I think I'll keep it
though, for some odd reason my SWR's are better.


What are SWR's? Does your antenna have multiple standing wave ratios?
Were they sick? Did they have MPD? Do you SWR's look in the mirror each
morning and say "well, who are we going to be today?"

Does the standing wave ratio own something called "are better"?

Are SWR's related to 73's, and if so does the hat help 73's also? Is
your antenna still a fertile female that gets wet whenever a large
capacitance hat climbs on top?

A local school had "Spelling Award's Day" on a sign out front. When I
saw a pamphlet, it said "Selling Awards' Day".

Maybe it was award's for selling extra 's as a school project
"SWR's" and "73's" , or should I s'ay award's for s'ellin extras'
s'sses ?

73's and Happy SWR's to all,
Tom's
