Bob, speaking of Dads. Mine put his hand across his throat
and said ' I do the work from here up, you do the rest '

Don't let the grass grow under your feet

I can't pay YOU ! I have insurance, truck paym. all these bills
to pay first.
( Dad sneaks out in the morning and is in Atlantic City !)

I got a million of them, then he became city inspector and I
went through hell.

He just kicked PVC apart with his foot. I go whats wrong ?
You stupid SOB read the code ! Then do it right !
Damn he loved doing that in front of people.....

"I _get_ the work, you _do_ it."

"Ratchet dies are for real men. Only pussies use pipe machines."

"I'll buy you an electric drill when you wear out that brace & bit."

"I'll call you plumber when you can pour an upside down joint."

"Geezus boy, I'm havin' to line you up against those 2x4's over there just
to see if your moving."

Mine always called the plumbers that learned after the 70's a bunch of
"fuckin' glue bucket plumbers".
"They can't wipe their asses, how in the hell are they supposed to wipe a
lead joint?"

Sounds like both our dads were a couple of old hard asses.

Oh man mine was ! He got like that from his Dad. My Grandfather
was a Master in this city and from what I hear I'd quit !
He gave my dad away to a farmer because he did not work hard enough.
Then when he was brought back all 9 other bros and sista's said
he was adopted !

I can't think of all the shit he gave me, but they will come back...

Lets hear from the others.

I dont care if there is lightning get the hell out there and finish cleaning
the @%#$% flagpole you ungratefull maggot.

but daaaad i dont want to go to china. Shut up keep ^#%^@# digging
ungratefull maggot.

I actually was not allowed to know what my dad did for a number of years,
only that he worked in a building within a building with armed guards. When
i got old enough to work it was kind of a private thing for me that did not
invole my parents. I did not really talk about it at all ever. I did end
up with a pretty good work ethic though, im a little lazy some fridays.

one time my little sister and me were fighting in the back seat and would
not stop; after many warnings. He finally followed through and pulled over
took us out of the van and drove off. He went like a mile down the road
before he turned around and came back for us. I was like 5 years old and
remember I was pretty scared.

One thing about my Dad was he believed if its in your
house its yours.

He jumped both the gas line and water meter. This had
my Mom scared shitless. She always worried about the
water meter guy and the gas company has a way of knowing
if a line is jumped.

He told my Mom to go ahead water the hell out the lawn.
She cried.

Hey, any of you guys know how to jump the new water meters ?
I hear it can't be done.
