Boiler Room Humor

in THE MAIN WALL
friday night putting in a Munchie. It was one of those times when you are tired and but still enough energy to keep breaking stones. Mark was in the process of letting the magic smoke out of the transformer when I said " You know what you don't want to hear working late in a boiler room" He asks what? " Hey you got a nice a****. He goes " I don't ever want to hear that. I guess it was one of those tired late night moments because we laughed till we were crying. So my question to everyone is what are some other things you do not want to hear working late in a boiler room (or ever)?

    you don't want to hear:

    "oops!"

    or, the cell phone ring, your partner take a call from your spouse, asking to relay a message: "Thank you so much for the flowers you sent for our anniversary"; when no flowers were sent.

    What do the letters

    LP stand for after the boiler model number? (Actually happened on a nat gas boiler replacement)

    Do you have any idea how steep stairs look with a 250K cast iron boiler, the WRONG one at the bottom, do ya?

    I wanted to hang some one...

    I dunno, but


    "I feel I can tell you anything" would unsettle me.

    "Do you like to try new things", would drive me out.

    "You have the prettiest eyes" would be the ticket to another line of work.

    Paul's is a close first over ME in my book, or is that basement?

    Things Homeowners do not want to hear you say

    " I can't wait till we go out of business"

    " I bid this one tight , just make it work "

    " I don't like this guy, just throw it together "

    " Hey lets go out to the truck and smoke a bone "

    " Did you see all the stuff in their fridge "

    off topic but funny nevertheless

    the sheriff walks over to Fred by his boat and says: “I heard you’ve been fishing by stunning the fish with dynamite”,
    Fred says: “ah, people tell stories”,
    Sheriff: “just the same, I am coming out with you to see”,
    So they get out in the middle of the lake and the sheriff says: “Fred: you know, if you fish with dynamite, you go to jail”, at which point Fred reaches into his tackle box and pulls out a stick of dynamite, lights the fuse and throws it into the sheriff’s lap,
    The sheriff quickly grabs it, and goes: “wa-wwwhat are you doing!!!!”
    Fred goes: “ya gonna talk or ya gonna fish?!!!”

    Famous last words

    not good

    How about:
    "Sorry man, that Taco Bell lunch is really starting to kick in..."
    A kid that used to work for me was famous for that ...result, and believe me, I would rather have had an LP leak.

    I had left the circ on a packaged boiler on the return. I was filling the boiler when my helper held up the Spirovent and said, "What is this for?" Ooops, the expansion tank and the circ were in the correct "pumping away" position, but I had forgotten to install the air eliminator!

    Aaaugh!

    How about ?

    Guaranteed not to rot, chip, peel, split or fade in the Sun. My Uncle used to say that about anything we installed that obviously wasn't going to be exposed to sunlight. It usually got a smile.

    \"Something's wrong with our boiler.\"

    "Our house is full of humidity, the windows are dripping with water, and there's a horrible smell in the basement", (the smell of crispy fried and bloody Racoon ala fluepipe) Those are the worst words I can remember hearing, close to a boiler room.

    When a HO asks how long you been doing this?

    " It is my first boiler. Can you hand me the german torque wrench? I have to get these fittings gutandtite."

    " I just got out of prison, in fact I won't have the heat on, I have to meet my parole officer."

    " I just got out of Boces, I think I know how to do it."

    " Oh I'm just the driver, the mechanic lost his license on his third DWI."
