Yeah, and Vise Grips was a brand of locking pliers.

Yup.

It's like Q-tips. Brand name now has become the common name for any adjustable wrench.

[Jim Richards]

Back then, they actually carried the Crescent name on the handle of the wrench.

[RKDinOKC]

AND the actual Cresent brand adjustable wrenches no longer have the brand name on them!

Yeah, one of the ones I was using did, the other did not. I think it was a craftsman.

If that fails I will do Jefferson Airplane. Or Chicago Transit Authority. Or Santana...

Max. do a report on the song from the Stones. From the 1973 album Goat Head Soup, the song Star Star. It would be a big hit!

Man I can catch a fukcing break.
Beth stuffed the Mercedes into a fence at work. She said it is scratched. I know what that means.

Hey Rick. I'm on my way home from the salt mine. The city is chock full of tourists.

[Jim Richards]

Sorry to hear about the car.

[GH85Carrera]

That sucks about the car.

We had a lady at the job I had 10 years ago that was always smacking into things. Every corner and both bumpers were smashed. Somehow it was never her fault, or so she said.

It was a busy day for me at work. We have a customer with the most stupidly complex AutoCAD DWG file I have ever seen. They want us to drop it on top of a photo of their complex. That part is normal and we do it all the time. There are some parts that just do not want to import properly. I could have built it from scratch in less time than I have spent trying to import the file.

All it really is is the boundary of the facility, and some annotation. I hate AutoCAD!

That one is typical of what Will Rogers said about humor. It is funny as long as it is happening to someone else.

Similar story when I was attached to the USAF for a couple of years Until then they where plain old adjustable spanners

Have to agree Glen. It'd have to be one of the most non-intuitive CAD package out there. I hate working with it and all I do is markups.
