Welding Tips and Tricks

Maybe just common sense but make sure if you leave your welding helmet in a building outside your house or a shop, check it for spiders before putting it on. I'm at the doctors now about to get checked for three bites. Not sure it was in my helmet but it seems like a probable place. These bites are huge!! . Sorry if that's just a dumb reminder but hey, sometimes it's the little things.

Sorry to hear that, those things freak me out

Ooooh man, I hate spiders, thanks for the heads up.

One go those things right in front of your face when you drop your hood has got to be the freakiest thing out there.

Come on Mick - we know you got better spiders down under - waiting on your response !

Or driving down the road and a big wasp comes in the truck

Any wasp is a pain in the butt. Especially those damn ones that hide in trailers, or breaker panels. Rats in a grain bin suck to.

I was going to open a breaker panel, one of those latch ones. Go to open it, its late at night, dark outside. pull out my flashlight and look for the latch, out of the latch handle comes 2 wasps, just crawling around and hiding in the latch. I was 1 second away from putting my finger right on that latch and opening it. MAAAAN that would have sucked.

I got bit by a red back when I was a little tack. Poor thing suffered pain before it died.
Mother took me to the hospital where I was asked where I got bit, I said on the tooshy.
Nurses were relieved cause they didn't have to treat the ugly end of me.

Implying your arse is nicer than your face?

Someone once said I have a face like a dropped pie.
So I guess it's a personal thing.

I can think of two unflattering meanings for "dropped pie", so I'll let it go...

I was always told I had a face for radio.

We'll accept HIS opinion on that

Some of these sayings and phrases crack me up to no end

One of the best ones I've heard was "Uglier than a painters radio". I'm going to have to remember this one too.

Boom, Boom......

We've got some nasty spiders here, Luckily the big baddie, the funnel web isn't near me. I get the creepy crawly feeling though. I keep my shields and gloves in a big plastic box out in the shed,

You must be the fella that when asked for a match said " Ya my face and your ass "

Laff it up.
At least my dogs never try to lick my face...

If there are no pictures, it didn't happen.

I know at least two Aussies who could be descendants of this bloke...

It's looking better now. If you look near my ear there is a second bite.

OUCH! It just goes to show, you can't trust a spider.

That spider had a big jaw

I heard we eat so many spiders a year in our sleep so I hope I ate him.
