Friday joke.....

or washington dc

Back in '78 in high school machine shop class me and a buddy pulled a prank on one of the less astute kids there. We gave him a piece of 5/8 cold roll that had been knurled, and told him he needed to use it to take all the casting flash off his drillpress project ( we each got to build our own, i still have & use mine) with a very dangerous project called : "SHITPOLISHING". We then loaded him up with all the protective gear we could lay hands on: Goggles, face shield, welding leathers & gloves on and on... Then he stood there rolling this bar over the head casting...Little did Tom H. and I know we had just coined the most powerfull phrase on our time. SHITPOLISHING: the act of setting forth a turd, and convincing the greater populace that it is a thing of great beauty and wonderful fragrance to be sought after with great zeal.It was for decades the un-named creed of used car salesmen and has now become the mantra of politicians worldwide, as each member of each party tries to convince us all that which ever load of shit he's selling is the only way to go. It has probably been this way since the dawn of "civilization" but only now has it been given a true and fitting name. It may also be what we all are trying to do resurecting old junk to run again, except the fact we actually do something rather than just sell nothing!

Well,,, You can polish a turd forever and the most you are likely to gain is a really great looking turd. However, that said, I have earned a pretty good living over the years doing this. We have a lot of old industry here in terms of power plants, mills and chemical plants. For the last forty years I have made a lot of money in the places trying to upgrade and keep these turds opperating. So, that of which you speak is alive and well here.

Wyoming D.O.T has come up with a big savings, 67% of the hands can be laid off because they have notched 1/3 of all the shovel handles, so 2/3 of the shovels can lean on each other.

A gal went into the police station to report a rape, she said it was a wydot worker, the officer asked how she new, and she said "because he had on a neon yellow safety vest and I had to do all the work!"
