Today was a beauty. Steel suppliers are out of stock on critical items, Boss ran over our battery charger, found out I need to move several loads of flagstone over the weekend (by hand), and then.. The Boss looses it going down I-70 today and drops 20K lbs. worth of scrap on the highway, shuts it down for a while. Totals our 12T hauler and lands himself in the hospital . I get to make all the contact calls, sort out the details, calm all the freaked out people who saw the wreck, relay information to/from state patrol, calm all the freaked out people, check with the wrecker company, talk with CDOT about clean up, calm all the freaked out people, and the ER. ...and talk to more freaked out people. He's gonna be fine, several broken ribs and lacerations to the head. I'll check in on him in the morning. So, anyone know any good jokes? I want to tell a few good jokes. To him. Tomorrow. As he laughs, the pain from those broken ribs should tell him not to do that again ! I love the guy, he tries this again, I'll probably kill him myself before he leaves the yard. Save me some grief. Thanks, rant over. JB
Naww, he's at his best when He's in the field on-site going over projects. Driving on the other hand, not his forte. At least not today. Still looking for Jokes. One-liners are cool, I'm just drawing a blank tonight. Don't worry about being "raw", I can tone it down. I just want him to soil his diaper tomorrow, so I can give him chit about it later. More concerned about his wife. I always get her to laugh (give her crap constantly). After a decade with these folks, ...yeah, I know my parameters. I really don't have any. They call me Uncle John... grandkids do at least. Gotta go, thinking about losing that SOB has me all freaked out now. I am sooo gonna punch him in the balls tomorrow. He can fire me, his wife will re-hire me., No doubt.
Yea that's definately one of "those" days. Hope your boss is doing well. "I'm the kind of guy who stops the microwave at 1 second, just to feel like a bomb defuser" Confuscius says "man who run in front of car gets exhausted, man who run in front of car gets tired"
When my father had knee surgery the nurse told me he couldn't go home until he moved his bowels. I told her to show him his bill, he'll $hit when he sees that.
I use this one for the BMW guys (insert his car of choice): "You know the difference between a porcupine and a BMW??? On a porcupine, the pricks on the outside." "You know the difference between an elephant and a cop car???? On an elephant, the trunk is in the front and the a&*&%$$ is in the back" (I told my best bud, a cop, that one, so relax LEOs)

In the meantime, if you want a few jokes, click on the above link. There are at present 17 pages of them. I have about a thousand pages on my computer too. Some I can't post on the forum though.
Mission accomplished. Saw him in the ICU today, he's pretty banged up but he'll live. He actually rolled the truck, damm lucky to still be alive. The Mrs. was with him when I showed up, so we had a BS session. And then, I couldn't help it, I got her laughing. The grimace on his face was sooo worth it! He was trying not to laugh and it cost him. I told the Mrs. when she got back to the shop tonight that I had enlisted help to provide jokes, just so he doesn't forget this. She called me "evil", while wiping tears of laughter from her eyes. Thanks all. Jeff, thanks for the Dales, but I had a few too many of those last night.
Good to hear you'll be letting the boss know who's boss now... Also, good he's gonna be fine... as long as you don't get him laughing too hard...
