The plant manager says he thinks it's one of the welders, the shipping guy or a fella in final assembly.
None of them have a desk or computer. The joke doesn't fit the shipping guys profile...he has only done his practical jokes where he can watch. The Welders have only played jokes on each other...welding the victims tools together, welding the safe to the welding platform, removing the ground so the welder doesn't work, welding the victims tool box shut, ect...If it's a Welder, this is the first time one of their practical jokes have migrated out of the welding area.
The profile is pointing to the guy in Final...I know him and he is very fussy about his truck... so the poop in the tail pipe and honey/peanut butter mix inside the door handle will be the ultimate payback....if it's him.

This happened before Rachel was born. 1992

I had overheard one of my younger co-workers talking about her American History class at the local jr College.

She was discussing the Nixon Watergate scandal...she had many of her fact wrong so I corrected her. She asked me with wide eyes "How do you know all this stuff" I answered her "I remember it from reading it in the paper and watching the trial on TV". Her eyes got bigger and made the comment "Your that old?" Embarassed

You want to REALLY feel old????

My kids were reading a poem (a couple of years ago) by Robert Frost, where he talks about the snow looking like it had been sifted like Flour....

Ask your kids if they know what a flour sifter is, and if they have ever seen one.

For that matter.....there are many kids out there who don't have a clue as to how to work a hand can opener...

We have both the flour sifter and the manual can opener. Darrell lets Rachel sift the flour when he baking his famous Coffee cake.... I do collect antique kitchen tools but, these are not a part of this collection.
Most kids don't know how to use a rotery dial phone....

A Friend of ours was telling us about the time he sent his youngest, who was about 8 at the time, to his home office to call his friend so the home phone line would be left free.... Kyle hollars down the stairs "Dad the phone doesn't work" so Dad goes up to the office and has kyle show him what he means.
Kyle puts his finger in the hole and pushes and says "see it doesn't push and it's not beeping"
His Dad said he almost fell over laughing....

We had one of those really old phones in the kitchen - rotary dial and mouth piece on the face, and a candlestick ear piece. It was mounted at adult height (actually taller than me), so I had to stand on my tiptoes to yell into the mouth piece.

One day, a bunch of little girls were over, and one wanted to use the phone. We were in the kitchen, so I motioned to the phone on the wall. She had a really weird/confused look on her face went she went over to it...so I lifted the ear piece down for her, told her to yell loud (so she would reach the mouth piece, and showed her how the phone dialed). Well, she got a thrill out of the dialing - she loved the way the dial had to return before you could dial the next number, but she thought the ear piece was the mouth piece, and was yelling into it like a microphone. I forgot to tell her where the mouth piece was, and she thought the ear piece was for both.

WOW! Something that old worked? Does it still work? I love that old stuff... Toys, Farm/barn tools, kitchen implements..I have a wood ironing board and pedal sewing machine that really works. I get tingely all over and my impulse control goes out the window when I see this stuff like this.

It still works, but we rarely use it. You have to stand, no further than 12 inches from it to use it, and it is not really convenient. I like the really old stuff as well! I have a hand-pump well spigot at the barn....that always freaks people out when I tell them they have to pump it before the water will come out. I WISH I had an old sewing machine, that sounds really neat!

The hand pumps are great exercise. My grandparents had one in the horse barn. I got all the horse stuff, excluding the tack, and an arial picture of the farm when my grandparents died. I had the picture reframed by a company that does museum art. I placed the grooming tools with Durango & Derby on a shelf under the picture. I also have a thing for wood boxes with dovetailed (I think thats right) corners and old tool & carpenters boxes.
MaryAnne, you'll appreciate this...Antique dental instruments..... Shocked

Howdy, if I had had dental tools - antique or not - I probably would have used them on myself during that last tooth!!! I will remember that one a long, long, long time.

I do love the dove tailed wood joints in furniture! We see a lot of it back here, the amish influence I think, but if you go to Philly (Ikea or something), then a lot of the time the stuff isn't even real wood, let alone dovetailed.

It's on a T-shirt with mensrooms? I'd better change it quick. LOL!

I stole it off the sig that someone in my computer help group is using.
