My step son's wife was talking to me about getting him a new cue (moderately priced) for his birthday. I recommended a Pechaur because I kind of like their style. Taking advantage of the fact that she does not know alot about pool, I told her to ensure she requested the cue be left handed. About and hour or so later I get a phone call from a very angry female and I can still hear the guys in background chuckling. I guess I am even more lucky that they didn't charge her more for that modification.
 
NewStroke...I foresee a "left-handed" comment coming your way...soon! :D (possibly followed by a left hand to the side of your head! :eek:)

So that is what I heard earlier. I just thought it was another earthquake.

I don't think you should eat at your stepsons anytime soon.

What's so funny here... I still play with my original cue that I purchased from a guy who said it was a left handed cue. He was a crook though cause he said it didn't make any difference, and I'd never notice it.

Wrong ... I've been playing badly ever since ..... :(
 
Left handed cues aren't any problem. Finding a case for a left handed cue....now there's a problem!:D

newstroke,

Many, many years ago on my first day as a professional, paid race car mechanic, the crew chief asked me for a metric adjustable wrench. It took me quite a while to figure out I'd been had. Hopefully she will do as I did. Grin and bare it! Got to admit, it made me smile. Thanks for the post.

While you were at it you should have told her to stop by the local filling station and have the air in her tires changed from "winter air" to "summer air". And while she's there have them change the blinker fluid and check the muffler bearings. And it's always good to have your conduty valve change once a year. :rolleyes:
 
When we get new Airman in at the clinic, we always send them to logistics for fallopian tubes :rolleyes:

As a mason we had a ton of these "special" tools that the new guys weren't aware of. In one particular instance I was repairing a basement and was about 6"x12" shy of enough concrete so I told the new guy to go out into the job trailer and get the concrete stretcher....

15 minutes later my boss chimed in on the nextel saying "I'm not paying some idiot to look for a concrete stretcher. He just came over the CB asking me what it looks like. When he's done looking for it tell him to look for a new job!"

Sometimes jokes are funny until someone gets yelled at. :-)
 
The avaition version of this would be:

I need 200 yards of flight line or...

5 gallons of prop wash.


Every industry has them. In restaraunts there was "steak glue" and "shelf lifters".

Actually..

On the side of most adjustable wrenches it will give you the measurement. 6 In., 10 In., etc. On the other side, it has it in millimeters. So you could argue that there are metric adjustable wrenches..

Now if I could just get a left handed screw driver, I'd be all set.

I traveled with the carnival during the summers. We would always have a few local guys help set up the rides. We would send them from one end of the midway to the other to get a left handed screwdriver, lefthanded monkey wrench, or occasionally a sky lift. The sky lift was the best. The guy would come back and say something like, "he said the sky lift is in the truck that ain't here yet, and you don't need it anyway, the sky is plenty high enough in this town. Not like the last place."

BTW, to the original poster, you will eventually get yours for that. HA HA!!!!!
