Just to lighten your day;



Hey, I'm a Blonde too, so it's OK


Bill

I showed a veterinarian friend, (recent immigrant, educated here) how to change the fluorescent lamps in his office.
He called and told me that he was having problems, they "aren't like the tube lamps".
It was a 60A19.(Edison base 60 watt incandescent)
This guy has 4 Degrees, is a well respected Doctor, but apparently none in screwing in a light bulb.

I had someone call once that was having a problem with misc Light Fixtures around the house. He (Banker/Stockbroker) had been living in this New Home for several months and was noticing that fixtures seemed to stop working in different areas of the House for no reason.

You may have guessed by now, ... the bulbs were starting to burn out.
(They did not know that bulbs had to be replaced!)

How many Electrical Inspectors does it take to change a light bulb?

Only one, because the world revolves around them!

Also works with General Contractors and lead guitar players...

Virgil,

Ooo,
(Here's where I gotta make believe I don't know you)

George Corron is going to be able to run after you soon I think, better watch it!

That's what 'ya get for settling for bass.
VK, from what I gather you could rip a good lead, or piano, (it's all in the head)
Run like heck. George isn't gonna be able to get you quite yet. Where you gonna hide?
George, hope it's way better for you...S

I'm lost

Is George Moving to WV, or just starting to do inspections more often here?

What's the scoop? (I've missed it...)

*going to read more threads that I've missed lately...*

Aha! His leg is healing and he'll be returning to work soon...

Now I know!

That's great George, welcome back to the field.

Here's the guy George, Go get em!

GEEEEEEEEEZ, ya miss a coupla days
Sparky, is that an electric harmonica? If not, we could make it so.

The world revolves around Electrical Inspectors? I'm glad all are beginning to realize that, 'bout time

Moral of the leg story, NEVER break one after 40. It's been since 1/21 and I still am not allowed to walk on it, doc says if the swelling goes down, I can go back to work on limited duty (Like I was gonna do a bunch anyway).

I ain't moving YET Sparky (actually I would like to) but don't forget - I don't have anything to do, and I don't live far. Stay awake my friend, and VERY alert.

Where'd ya get that pic?!?!?!?

Boy... I need to keep a better eye on the missus...

Virgil,

Surprise !! Someone sent this in for the Violation area. They figured there's got to be some law being violated there!

... Just kidding, Maybe it was from one of your Concerts, I don't remember (read take the 5th)

Bill

Bill,
I needed a good laugh, thank you. (Ain't he cute)
More pictures available if it becomes necessary.........LMAO....

George,
I know all his cool hiding places, come on over - we can do lunch!!!!!

Cheerily,
Tiffany

George,
You should have made an appointment with me. I could have had you up on that leg in no time. I'm the Watt Doctor you know. Wattology is my specialty, but I'll set fractured bones for a side job. In fact, doing electric work, and working in the health care industry are almost the same.
Here's how:
1. Setting a broken bone is like getting the "dog leg" out of an offset. Just wedge it between a rung and the side of a ladder, "tweek" it, and presto, good as new.
2. Who needs stitches when you've got a roll of "33"?
3. When someone complains of head or chest pains on the job, I prescribe 2 quarts of yellow 77. You may ask, why? Well, after eating 2 quarts of soap, their stomach will hurt so bad that they won't care about their other pain. They may spend some extra time in the port-o-can, but they'll be fine.
4. I've never seen a bone that couldn't be set with some 3/4" EMT, drywall screws, and duct tape. The only problem that I have encountered comes after I run the first drywall screw in. With alittle help from the "gentleman's persuader" (3/4" bender), my patients usually settle down for the rest of the procedure.
5. Having a few mental psychosis? Nothing a little 480, 3 phase won't fix. A megger will work in a "pinch". I never understood why they quit using electric shock treatment back in the 50's.
6. In fact, got trouble with an apprentice? Megger 'em! Gets that A.D.D. right out of 'em.
I would even go as far as saying that it is better to have the Watt Doctor than a Medical Doctor. Notice the following:
1. Why have an HMO, when you can have the AFL-CIO?
2. I'll work for prevailing wages.
3. 24 hour service calls.
4. 1 year warranty against material defects.
5. When you visit my office, you never have to wear a gown that opens in the back.
George, if that swelling keeps up take 2 wire nuts and call me in the morning.

Laughingly,
The Watt Doctor, W.h.D.
Director of Wattology, Electric University

Yo Watt,
Do you take Insurance? You could be my next health care provider dude .

Your #1 may be how this all started though.

#2 - Been there done that, most of the multitude of scars on my body (for lack of a better term) were closed off with toilet paper and 33+. 33+ is the medical version.

#3 - Pass, pun intended

#4 - in the early 70's, we had never seen metal studs, they brought some out to a job and a friend of mine was trying to screw a box to it. Yep, drywall screw right into the bone. One of the memories that still makes me pucker.

#5 & 6 - Dang sure been there done that. Been on the wrong end of both of these. I had a science teacher in the 7th grade who used to take a magneto (megger) make the class hold hands and 'tweek' it. Maybe that's whats wrong with the younger generation, they ain't getting 'tweeked' enough

Tiffany - Thanks, but any attack on Virgil must be completely covert. Maybe a fully charged capacitor on that harmoniceeee.

George,
After consulting with the "Big Book of Wattological Ethics Illustrated", Mrs. Smith's Kindergarden Class, The Psychic Hotline, The Bible, my wife, and other resources to numerous to list, I have come to the conclusion that if I answered in the affirmitive, I would be cast, not just into, but under Huntsville State Prison. I do have a deal for you though. The first visit is free (2 visit minimum, just like most service calls, 2 hour minimum). I have one requirement. You must be able to read the sign on the back side of the entrance door. It reads as follows,"...you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."

Wattologically Yours,
Doc
