Sherri I have to send this picture to you when I get it. I was out yesterday on my insurance route and came across a small santa in a rocking chair just sitting on the curb. I thought of H & J and wondered if he was sitting and waiting for them. Sure hope he’s there today, I think you’ll get a HA HA out of it
PS, you still have a HOT BOD!

From what I gather here, newroom quotes are generally wacky and gay. You wackers should hear some oil field quotes. Right CT?

Great idea, HRB! Let’s start an oil field quote category!!!! I love that.
Okay, just like in news, there’s a quote you can post and a quote you can’t post because a boy scout troup is coming through the newsroom on a tour. The latter are called, “Underground Quotes”. And they’re not actually recorded, just shared.
So, Bro…how about (if there are any) quotes from the slick fields that we can post here? Start recording!!!!
Finally! Something we’re all getting back from the oil industry!!!!

I worked on drilling rig one summer when I was 19. There are some colorful characters in the oilfield. They called me “Mule Shoe” all summer. Still haven’t figured out why.

Oh yeah, I worked with a really nice guy named Rabbit who had no teeth. He had spent several years in prison for possession of a huge quantity of marijuana. I also worked with a guy named Johnny who hazed me all summer because I was the “worm”. The newest person on the rig is called a worm, and they are treated accordingly. On my last day I lost it and chased him all over the rig with a monkey wrench. Not your typical summer job.

Man I was joking. I can’t think of much to tell from the oil field that you would want me to repeat in mixed company. Like CT said, very colorful.
