partsmanBB Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Had an old-timer share this wisdom with me years ago, about a girl I was having issues with..'Always make sure the screwing you're getting is worth the screwing you're taking.' It wasn't, and that was that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamageINC Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'm sure we've all been able to kick ourselves for not listening to this one.. "If you do the things you need to do, when you need to do them, then someday you can do the things you want to do, when you want to do them." And of course, there's the classic - "Remove the bolt" which of course implies that there's 17 minutes of sweating and struggling not mentioned in the workshop manual.

Aaron Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I like it when you are told "Remove and discard" and when warranty asks for it back - you say you threw it out. They get upset /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Go to the online WSM for the 07 F350.... Section 206-10 works good..... Click on the Symptom Chart and scroll to the bottom of it..... The word "DUH" comes to mind..... Admittedly, I can see where they are going with this symptom.... But all I can see is the this "DUH" will have an echo because we wont do what we say we did.... and I'm about to stick my foot in my mouth in another thread.... On another venue, I am hated because I had the utter chutzpah to suggest that a wiener (Ford finds this term derogatory) that had access to free training (but didn't get paid to take it) was a wiener for not taking the free training when he had the chance.... Cutting you nose off to spite your face is a pretty low rent manoeuver.... "I didn't want to improve my knowledge base and skill set because I don't get paid to make myself more valuable".... "DUH"... What C&W singer said "Here's your sign..."? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveS Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 "I live in my own little world, but it's ok - everyone knows me here." "Ahh, I see the fuck-up fairy has visited us once again!" "Did I just hear a toilet flush?" While pushing trucks inside: "POWERED BY YOU!" "I quit drinking, they invented a funnel." These are classics! They have the requisite slightly painful connection to reality quality that makes them irrestiably funny. Oh, and BTW, Jim, that isn't a singer but a comedian (maybe the finer points of US Redneck humor doesn't reach that far north?). You could probably Utube Bill Engval and find a handful of "Here's ......" skits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Browning Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 The truly sad part is that there isn't a lot of difference between a shoddy tech and a great tech.... A shoddy tech cares about what happens ON payday... a great one worries about what happens between them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy57 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 A great explanation a good ol' boy co-worker of mine told a customer when he was complaining about a water pump that leaked within days of a maintenance service visit, "Sir, do you see that working light bulb up there in that fixture? Can you please tell me when it is going to burn out?" Customer cooled right off and happily walked out to get in shuttle van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 A friend of mine goes for a ride with a customer with a noise complaint. It's a 100 degrees out and they have the windows rolled up ridin' around. Tech says "sir do you normally have your a/c off?" customer says no and he sets it at a comfortable level. Tech says "do you listen to the radio when you drive?" Agian the customer sets the radio to a normal listening level. They drive a little further and tech asks "do you hear the noise now?" Customer smiles and says I guess we can head back to the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DwayneGorniak Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I just had to renew this thread to change the pace from all of the world issues lately. Here's some pick up lines from Saskatchewan (where I'm from), enjoy: Did you fart? cuz you blew me away. My Love fer you is like diarrhea. I can't hold it in. Is there a mirror in yer pants? cuz I can see myself in em. If you was a tree & I was a Squirrel, I'd store my nuts in yer hole. You might not be the best lookin girl here, but beauty's only a light switch away. I know I'm not no Fred Flintstone, but I bet I can make yer bed-rock. I can't find my puppy, can you help me find him? I think he went inta this cheap motel room... Yer face reminds me of a wrench, every time I think of it, my nuts tighten up.

Bruce Amacker Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "Holy shit.... what a ride!"
