Trinity, All that sugar is gonna rot your teeth, then you won't need to go to the dentist anymore.

[Trinity]

Sure I will.  Crowns, bridges, partials, dentures, refitting.  I've got it all planned out.

[Texas Lawdog]

Just be sure and wear them when you get em. No body wants to see a toothless man in public.

That reminds me of a feller who used to work where I do.  He ran a milling machine, hardly ever was bathed, stunk, had a long, greasy pony tail, and had only two teeth.  He had a set of dentures that he put in only at lunch time, but took them out for the rest of the day.  Said they hurt him.

Every single day, he would eat in the lunch room and make everyone sick.  Because he wasn't used to the teeth, his food seemed to go everywhere but in his mouth.  You could always go to him a few hours later and tell what he had for lunch by looking at his beard. 

He was a heavy smoker and not to particular on the brand and as he was shoveling the last bite into his near his mouth he was lighting up.  He didn't get two drags in before he would start the most awful hacking fit you've ever heard and it didn't stop until he had a several more drags.  Do I need to tell you that even more food ended up across the room?  He sat at the same spot every day, and the few people who dared eat in there avoided the entire area in front of and around his spot.

I said he wasn't particular.  Our business puts us in contact with cigarettes, most of which is not very fresh.  Especially the product samples that have been packed away for a few years.  He would go and help himself to these.

Sounds like he needs to "Be Clean Clear and Deodorized Too"!

But was he a good machinist?

[Texas Lawdog]

I guess that if the Company was content with his work, I guess his personal habits didn't matter.

[Arcey]

Could be some sortah union thing, Tex...

Well as they say, a white collar worker showers before work, a blue collar one does after work.

[Texas Lawdog]

When I worked at the zinc smelter, we had to shower after work.  I had to use liquid dishwashing soap to shower with to get all the dirt, grease, and soot washed off.

[Leo Tanner]

Installin isnsulation will have ya on a regular evenin shower routine.  Bear of it is they gotta be cold showers so yer pours don open up.  I's sure we could all use a cold shower every now an then, but everyday?!?  Just aint right.

Thinikin' about insulayson makes me wanna sctatch.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Makes you itch about as much as grabbing up hay bales on a hot summer day.

Makes you itch about as much as grabbing up hay bales on a hot summer day.

But not as much as doin' body work on a durned Vette.

[Texas Lawdog]

We had an ol drunk painter at the body shop that called em fiber plastic.

[Arcey]

Never messed with a 'vette. Have repaired blisters on boats 'n handled insulation werkin' HVAC.

Best I've found was rinsin' off with a hose before leavin' the job site. Don't try to dry with a towel just air dry. Rarely had a problem.

[Ozark Tracker]

worst itching I was ever in,  was combining milo,  man if you ever rubbed it,  that spot would itch, every evening when I'd get done I had the garden hose run up over a tree limb so I could take off ma clothes and take a cold rinse off before going in for a shower.   we always combined it in late August so it'd be hot and you'd be sweating,  sticky work.

had a buddy used to slalom (sp) race, with a Beetle, he told all the Vette guys he beat to get rid of their kiddy cars and get a real one.  He could beat all but 1 or 2 of them in the area.

OT, Cutting wheat and maize was always itchy work.  We had a Corvette drag car for a while (B Modified SP). I took my Dad out in it for a ride.   He said   "If I let you keep this thing, Jimbo, You're gonna kill yourself", Your Momma would never forgive Me".  He sold it and I got a 66 GTO .
