Or looking for a left-handed crescent wrench and fetching a bucket of prop wash. The problem with this joke is that the wrench exhists. Handedness in a wrench is determined by which thumb closes the jaws. Right thumb right hand wrench, left thumb left handed wrench. I have a left handed crescent type wrench. Where was it made? POLAND of course. Wrench available for inspection.

As the new guy, they asked my to deliver a briefcase to the boss' office and (you guessed it) there was a spinning gryo in the briefcase. I got a big surprise when I tried to turn a corner in the corrider and the briefcase kept going straight ahead! A great 'new guy' trick. -- Brian Denley http://home.comcast.net/~b.denley/index.html |
