Oh, I see what you are saying. Some guys have problems with the tools behaving like a swivel joint sometimes. Not having had that problem, sometimes it is "hard" for me to remember that guys have those issues sometimes.

Nevermind.

8 hour days????

I remember those, at least for the brief span of the year I worked with you guys. I've been on 12 hour shifts for the past 10 years. It's nice to have 4 days off each week though, so i don't complain too loudly...:-)

Nope. Never do. When it is too loose, I do.
Yes but you don't want it too easy otherwise we think of hot dog down a hallway.
No, I go to sleep
Don't need it.

I haven't had that problem too often. Maybe it is the wrong sort of people you hang around with. Hint, Hint.

At the end of the encounter, sometimes unless she disposes of it herself.

What number were we up to?

oh well...

16) There is a lot of shouting

17) Sometimes it ends up with a huge stain on the ground

18) You are exhausted after.

19) There is a lot of banging going on

20) The bigger the tool the better it is

21) It is all about skillz

22) Sometimes the wife gets jealous

23) The newer models are nice and shiny, but the older models are more satisfying to work on
