Now I gotta get back to chit chat where I belong!!!

Q: What do you call an engineer that graduated with the lowest GPA in his/her class?

A: An engineer.



A co-worker told me this one today (trying to cheer me up) when I was lamenting my lackluster performance in a class I'm taking for work.

That doesn't sound nearly as bad as the guy who graduated med school at the bottom of his class, Doctor.

when you have to take his bridge or fly in her plane, I think it'd hit home.

had quite a few oh $heets in early days! when i was growing up my ol man was too cheap to pay anybody to fix anything so we learned to do everything ourselves.his motto was always the damn things already broke,so ya cant hurt it any! plumbing,electrical,hvac and hole diggin aint that complicated just requires some common sense and pride in what you are doing is all!at the shop i worked at before i went on my own years ago they had a mechanical engineer that ran the shop who tried teaching me how to do sheetmetal he liked using lots of fancy arcs and angles to lay out offsets and transitions in the tin before cutting it out,i just needed to know the dimensions and would layout the same piece without all the fancy tools he had to use he never tried teaching me again after that! when i was going to plumbing school i remember sitting in 1st year class(dumbstuff 101 ! )anyway i was talking to teacher about taking my sewer layers test for installing sewers and water services since i had my own backhoe and truck.well one of the 1st year guys from one of the big shops starts bitching that i dont even work for a plumber i cant do that.i told him ive got a refrigiration license and i pressure test all my work with 250-300psi of nitrogen with no leaks most water services are regulated to 60-75psi around here anytime he wants to challenge me to a soldering or flaring test let me know,even the teacher shook his head at him and started laughing;) oh yeah the same 1st year that gave me shit about not being experianced took the sewer layers test same day i did they gave us 4 hours to take the test and i finished it in under 30 minutes and got a 94 on it. i think only 3-4 other guys passed it out of about 40 and they were all plumbers:whistle:

Rules to live by (from an old plumber friend-o-mine):

1 - Hot water goes on the left
2 - Cold water goes on the right
3 - Shit rolls downhill



Wireman...we always knew you was a schmart kookie.
