if out of all of your friends you are the only one who understands the phrase arg burn's a *****

if you wear a welding helmet to the grocery store and don't realize it

YMBAWI: When your firefighter buddies show off their expensive new fireproof shirts, and your only comment is 'na, they burn'

All right here is one for ya

YMBAWI: your Buddy's in the fire dept. come to your garage fire that the next door neighbor set your shop on fire, and says to all the other firefighter on the first truck to your shop and says "BOYS IF ITS IN THE WEST END OF THE SHOP WE ARE JUST GOING TO WAIT TILL IT BURNS ITS SELF OUT"

Then the other firemen have a funny look on their face like WHY???

and he's says: Ty, welder, compressed gassed and who knows what else.....

I had 3 bottles of Acetylene, 2 100LB propane 4 20LB propane 5 gallon gas cans all over, boat gas tank.....

Not so funny TRUE STORY

no one was hurt and did not lose all, but what a pain in the butt.

Worse of all I was not even home when it happened was working out of town

you have to go to the eye Dr. because that microscopic metal flake won't come out and your eye swells shut. The Dr. removes the flake and tells you to come back next week to have the rest of the rust removed.

Been there, done that and have 3 closets full of t-shirts!!!! (in fact going for followup apt. tomorrow 9/30/09)

$5.00 each or 3 for $10.00

one of your buddys asks you if you know anyone that wants to buy a welder, you reply everyone you know either has a welder of their own, or pays you to do their welding

Ok, time to take a break from the technical stuff and have some fun. Let's see who can come up with the funniest (yet, probably true) way to finish that statement. There will be a prize......ok, not really, but it sounded good. Have fun with it. SSS


Here's mine:

....you constantly have a "sunburn" from your bicep to just above your wrist.

You might be a welder... if you keep an extra pair of shoe strings in your toolbox or your glovebox.

You might be a welder if... your buddy sticks a flame from a lighter to your hand and you dont feel it for the first 10 seconds. hahaha
