An old welder I worked for years ago, after fixing something would always spit on it and say "Better than it was before".
The ones I dont like.... How long, How much, I can come help, When do you think it will be ready......
Cruise passenger: "Captain, do ships like this sink often?" Cruise Ship Captain: "No, only once." "Do you hear that?" "No, I don't hear anything." "That's what I mean, It's way to quiet, something's about to go... Aw Shit!" Necessary answer to: "Where you from?" "You' Mamma made me throw up!" (pop, pop, pop...) Always be prepared...
"what are these extra parts for?"...is my personal favorite. that and in my neighborhood there is the "good enough for who it's for" line. oh yeah and of course "are you sure it goes that way?" Bill
I like "Hold my beer, I'm gonna try somethin" A buddy of mine always used to say, "Columbus took a chance" whenever we were trying to decide whether to attempt something stupid and/or dangerous.
Back in 1999 I put plate glass in my son's model A , to drive to B'ville. I said "Whats the odds you will roll over?"....The Road Rash Coupe was born!!!!!!.....OLDBEET
Oh hell - It can't be that hard to do... Easy as cake Piece of pie When I make you drive it, then you can complain. You shoulda been there!!! (My buddy Mike AFTER something great happens. He gave me this line about the Pile-up 2 years ago so I gave it back to him last year. HA!) Crap on a shingle!!! Torque wrench - shmorque wrench Bruce Lee, master of martial arts, help me. (Say this sincerely before you try to loosen a bolt that is stuck. It works for me...) Well ain't that a kick in head? NO not that way!!! preceding a loud breaking sound of some sort That's why God invented welding. Wow, didn't see that coming!! Hmmm, wonder why it did that. All you gotta do is... Can't see it from my house. What are these left over parts for? HOW MUCH ?!?!?! Whatuyver MacGuyver!!! (it ryhmes and you get to say it to your pals when they chime in with stupid advice) And my all time favorite - "It'll be running by next weekend or my name isn't Florence Henderson!"
Happened to me when I was out in the garage a couple of times so I quess it counts. Wife- "Are these pants too tight?" or "Does this make my butt look big?" No good answer for either of these if its the case. My Dads favorite " Good enough".
Hey,it worked for me! Hey, is it cheaper if I help you? Well if you can put it together I can weld it up... It always makes that noise... Yeah they had one for $200 but I got this one for $30, can you put it together? TP
