I joined an exercise group and was told to wear loose fitting clothing. Heck, if had any loose fitting clothing i wouldnt have joined an exercise group.

Saw that on the news just yesterday. It's going to cost 5K to fix it. Still pretty funny though.

5K ?? Yup easy to believe but I would thread/tap the hole and screw a bolt/gasket washer in. Folks have been fixing fuel tanks like that for years.

A lady walked into the local coffee shop and sat down in a booth behind one occupied by 3 men. She could not help but to hear their conversation, and as they continued, she realized that they were trying to spell a word.

First guy; I think it's spelled "whoom"

Second guy; No, no, I think there's some "R's" on the end; like "whoombrrrr"

Third guy, nope you're close but I think still wrong. I think it's spelled "wuuuuuum"

The lady could not help becoming amused as she realized what they were trying to spell. She got up to leave, turned to face them and said with a superior air; Gentlemen, I think you'll find that it's spelled "womb"! And she turned on her heel and strode our of the coffee shop with a smug smile on her face, triumphant that she got the best of 3 men. They watched in silence as she left.

First guy; Do you think she knew what she was talking about?

Second guy; Hah! I doubt it!

Third guy; I agree. I'll bet she's never even heard an elephant fart.

You forgot that government types require the fixing done from the inside out wearing sterilized wet suits and all stainless steel tools and 15 people watching while wearing hazmat suits. $5K seems a little light, where are the consultants fees and environmental assessments? Maybe they broke out the costs for retrieving the lead bullet from the water supply...

. They'll probably empty the tank and treat the water for lead contamination as well. Anyway, 5K is what the news reported, not me.

So funny, but.
True story. Engineer refurbished industrial high tower (water tank). Under pressure from management the tower was put back in service several weeks before it was scheduled to be on-line.
Shortly there after a lab found something in the drinking water water. Serious investigation to find the root cause. Turns out the epoxy lining of the high tower had not fully cured and some nasty stuff leached out. The remediation cost was HUGH !
Sometimes it is better to do it right than to do it fast.

That is what my girlfriend says all the time.

Been to a lot of the places in that video. AWESOME vacation with the Missus. Beautiful country and could easily go back for another. I think one of the most memorable things I've ever done in my life was standing on the wall that the Romans built (Hadrian's Wall) to keep the Celts in the north at Hexham and Roman Town in England, where the original border was with Scotland. The current border was on the less impressive, yet still visible Antonine Wall which wasn't stone, but instead was earthen berms and wooden pallisade.

Kinda disappointed that he didn't get the Kelpies sculpture at Stirling/Falkirk in the video, or perhaps Neptune's ladder at Ft. William. Probably wouldn't let him hop back and forth across the Caledonian Canal on his bike too much. Other than Edinburgh castle, he's conspicuously away from castles. A lot of the stone structures were old British garrisons and WWII concrete emplacements.

Scotland is a BEAUTIFUL country. Like I said, I'd go back in a blink. Same to be said for Ireland.

That's why the world needs more accountants and lawyers
