What are some of the answers you guys give when people ask what your doing? A favorite of mine is I tell them that "I'm making a part for a machine that builds wooden butt holes for hobby horses" That always gets a laugh:o) Another good one is to stare at them a little too long. Then ask "How do you like how your finding out?" Lets hear them :lol: ~Wes~ |

Naughty Wes !!! :hammer: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I try to look beyond the question, they have shown some interest, I think I am good enough to show them some more. The only way to get more guys in to this hobby is to be humble and grateful someone has taken the time and trouble to talk to us. Be nice. :poke: After all you don't want to end up like Fergus .......... do you? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :beer: DaveH |

Back in the late-80's and early-90's I was the chief mechanical engineer on the program that developed the modern automotive airbag restraint system. This sounds impressive until you realize that (A) airbags are chemical and not mechanical in nature and (B) I spent 2-1/2 years developing a product that was designed to blow up in my face... About a year-and-a-half ago I developed a device to take samples of fecal matter, dilute them, and dispense the (0.08 ml) solution into cells for testing (work done for the Canadian Ministry of Health). You can imagine the jokes being told around my office as I ran tests to determine the optimum coring tube size to acquire the sample and then figure out how to disperse the sample into the solvent (distilled, deionized water). Yeah, it was a $#!tty job, but someone had to do it! |
