Dirty rotten metal that would never see the light of day after the welds were done. But a new kid would ask "How does this look?" and we'd give it the old "Hmm... " stink eye. It pushes progress and skill though, and the do have to be good, no matter where they're at.
Kind of reminds me of welding school when watching somebody else's bend test-making noises that make it questionable and then they get real worried. Then crap gets real serious when they actually fail but you still mess with them regardless
We'd always watch the track cutter as it cut the coupon. When the torch hits a slag inclusion the molten steel shoots up like a little geyser. Everybody would cheer like old faithful just went off. "Yeah!!! We have a winner!" and such.

So do any of you guys feel like this? That is those of you that don't weld as good as Jody. :D
And the rest of us are just bummed about having a small pee-pee :lol:

1.i don't use tap to talk
2. Wisconsin accent ain't that bad(at least to me it isn't)
3."don't ya know" is more Minnesota than anything which is appropriate for me seeing that's where half my family is from and where I go for 3 months every year.

LMAO! I might try, but the accent is half the joke, damn it!

We have a similar thing in south Louisiana, it's the same type jokes, but the characters are Boudreaux and Thibideaux.

Heard quite a few of those when I was stationed at England AFB in Alexandria LA. :D
Served with a Boudreaux from that area so he knew lots :)
