How many of you craftsmen can tell me what a
" 3/8 Sammy Sidewinder " is ???

any guess' ????
:wtf

A self tapping, self drilling all-thread rod anchoring system? Installation w/ variable speed drill motor and "Sammy" bit required. Used in wood, mostly, althought they might have sheet metal versions (?). Great for house work, apartment, commercial...some industrial applications...you could use them to run the gutter down the palm trees on Kwaj... What do I win? A bucket of steam or a left handed crescent wrench...I lost mine on the last job...I just set it down, and it just "walked away"

Damn you Rover,
I had a feeling you would know !!
I was hoping to hear some Really dumb answers like a fishing lure or something.
You win a KIB and another, black and tan from me !!

That is good info on that. now I know that in the Army, we used to have people look for grid squares and even had them looking for track pad pumps, when we had maint. on vehicles to do.

Actually, my favorite was when I "almost sent" our new warehouse bitch to another country. He was the son of someone "important" and why he was even fucking there, lazy as hell, and not a smart ass, but a smart mouth, when we were in Uzbekistan:

"Hey, dude, it's per diem day, and we ALWAYS go out the night of Per Diem, ya wanna come?"

Him: "sure, where are you going?"

"Club Tajekastan"

Him: "WHERE?"

"Just get a taxi and tell them you wanna go to Tajikastan, and they'll know where it is."

Him: "alright, see you all tonight"

ROTFLMAO, sigh, ahhhhhhhhhhh, the benefits of knowing how to look at a fucking MAP. He claims he didn't even try to go, but he was AWEFULLY PISSED OFF come Monday morning and wouldn't even talk to me. :rockwoot:

Good one! If that would have worked you could have sold that story.
