Newsletter and jokes 2 June 2017


 
Hi all 
 
Well Wonder Woman is up this week. I read a review earlier this week  
which was rather negative, so I was quite suprised last night to see how 
well the press overseas has rated it. They're expecting it to beat the  
combined total earnings of Elektra and Cat Woman this weekend alone. Enjoy. 
 
Also up, but not so well critically received, is the big screen (and adult) 
version of the popular TV series Baywatch. Rounding out the lineup we have 
the arthouse release and a horror story from Bollywood.  
 
There's also the Encounters documentary film festival running at the  
Nouveaus, as well as Tom Stoppard's play Rosenkranz and Guildenstern Are 
Dead.

All you ever wanted to know about tools... 
 
SKIL SAW: 
A portable cutting tool used to make boards too short. 
 
BELT SANDER: 
An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into 
major refinishing jobs. 
 
WIRE WHEEL: 
Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench 
with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses 
from fingers. 
 
DRILL PRESS: 
A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock 
out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer 
across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had 
carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it. 
 
Pliers: 
Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of 
blood-blisters. 
 
HACKSAW: 
One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... 
It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, 
and the more you attempt to influence its course, 
the more dismal your future becomes. 
 
VISE-GRIPS: 
Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. 
If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense 
welding heat to the palm of your hand. 
 
OXYACETYLENE TORCH: 
Used almost entirely for igniting various flammable objects in your shop 
and creating a fire. 
Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you 
want to remove a bearing race. 
 
TABLE SAW: 
A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for 
testing wall integrity. 
Very effective for digit removal !! 
 
HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: 
Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your 
new brake shoes, 
trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper. 
 
BAND SAW: 
A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut large 
pieces into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash after you 
cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge. 
 
TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: 
A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of all the components you  
forgot to disconnect. 
 
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: 
Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style 
paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be 
used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads. 
 
STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: 
A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted 
screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms. 
 
PRY BAR: 
A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you 
needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part. 
 
PVC PIPE CUTTER: 
A tool used to make plastic pipe too short. 
 
HAMMER: 
Originally employed as a weapon of war, 
the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most 
expensive parts adjacent to the object we are trying to hit. 
 
UTILITY KNIFE: 
Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered 
to your front door. Works particularly well on contents such as seats, 
vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund  
checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work  
clothes, but only while in use.

A man was wheeling himself frantically down the hall of the hospital in his 
wheelchair, just before his operation. 
A nurse stopped him and asked, "What's the matter?" 
He said, "I heard the nurse say, 'It's a very simple operation, don't 
worry, I'm sure you will be all right.'" 
 
"She was just trying to comfort you, what's so frightening about that?" 
 
"She wasn't talking to me. She was talking to the doctor!" 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
Because of the severe weather conditions in the UK at the moment the 
Government has issued this warning. Anyone travelling in snow or icy 
conditions should take a shovel, blankets, sleeping bag, extra clothing 
including a scarf, hat, and gloves, 24 hour food supply, 3 ltr drinking 
water, de-icer rock salt, flash light, safety triangle, tow rope, petrol 
can and a set of jumper cables.  
I looked a right fool on the bus this morning!!!

Does anybody know how to cancel a bid on e-Bay?

six minutes away from owning the ANC!
