She says, "What's the story?" He replies, "Just crap in the carburettor." She asks, "How often do I have to do that?"

GENERAL DISCUSSION TO INCLUDE OFF TOPIC / Re: Some humor
« Last post by ron350 on May 07, 2024, 08:39:57 PM » A young ventriloquist is touring Sweden and, one night, he's doing a show in a small fishing town.
With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his customary dumb-blonde jokes.
Suddenly, a blonde woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting, "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype Swedish blonde women that way? What does the color of a woman's hair have to do with her worth as a human being. It's people like you that make others think that all blondes are dumb! You and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only Blondes, but women in general . . . pathetically, all in the name of humor!"
When the embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, the blonde shouts . . . "You stay out of this. I'm talking to that little s*** on your lap."

GENERAL TOOL AND MACHINE DISCUSSION / No shop is complete without an office....
« Last post by oldcarguy on May 07, 2024, 07:59:56 PM »Located in my basement, just a short distance from my machine shop. It's generous size 12' by 30' and comfortable setting. Here's a picture of my Hamilton Drafting table.. That still receives lots of action today for drawing part prints, buildings, or laying out machinery. The drafting machine in on the left with an aluminum and clear blades. On the far top RH side is my trusty 1955 Machinist's Handbook,, Bible we'd call it. Left are circle and elliptical templates. Circle and beam Compasses for large circles. Triangles 30-60-90 degree along with a French Curve. Square root, Trig tables, and die maker's Radius Charts. Of course a slide rule and scales. Mechanical pencils in three different lead hardness. Horse hair drawing brush, spare leads, and sharpener.. Electric eraser & shield.. All that's needed. And old the school calculator..The slide ruler...
I started using a "T" Square and triangles 65 years ago. After a few years I purchased a K&E arm machine. Then graduated to a K&E track machine. We called the paper Velumm that you'd make blue prints from.
Sitting across from the drafting table is table desk used for spreading out drawings, etc. Along with my printer scanner and other catch alls.... Along with a two drawer file cabinet. Gram scale and lighted magnifier on top...
This is my double pedestal desk that has my computer monitor, mouse, and keyboard. My work station...
This is a roomy lounge area where I entertain friends using the round table and chairs..
Like the rest of my shop. A fire extinguisher by the door...

GENERAL DISCUSSION TO INCLUDE OFF TOPIC / Another Blond joke.
« Last post by ron350 on May 07, 2024, 03:49:29 PM »A brunette goes into the doctor's office and says that her body hurts wherever she touches it. "Impossible," says the doctor. "Show me." She takes her finger and pushes her elbow and screams in agony. She pushes her knee and screams, pushes her ankle and screams and so it goes on, everywhere she touches makes her scream.
The doctor says, "You're not really a brunette are you?" She says, "No, I dyed my hair. I'm naturally blonde." "I thought so," he says. "Your finger is broken."
