all technical jargon has sexual undertones.

It makes you wonder how things would have been designed
if women were dominant in engineering and not men.

what would an slr look like then?
would lenses be extendible, black and long as your arm?
would mounting a lens be the term?

It's funny... as I was writing this I was thinking of you and assuming you'd know what was going on!

if you want to hear something really awful, listen to people talk about carpentry. I have a hard time keeping a straight face with it sometimes.

Don't tease me! Give me some examples! (20 years ago I worked in a lumber yard and dealt with contractors all the time... as well as did some building/remodeling/carpentry myself... and my father and grand father were electricians... so I've heard it all.

But don't be shy... TELL!

Things I've found myself saying recently, which sounded really awful once I stopped and listened to it again:

"Can some of you guys help me pick up my wood? I have too much."
"No, it has to be hardwood. Softwood won't work. The harder it is, the better."
"I need to make it a little shorter, it's just too long for me"
"When you polish it, you have to stroke it gently and often"

it sounds as if you need to get over to the entendre wing of the plant, on the double! make sure they have the male and female ends of the circuit separated, but take the bastard file in case the male end has to be dressed to slide into the female part. hell, take the dykes too,youi never know what will fit into what. by the way, take along the ball-bearing mousetrap, they've had some vermin over there.

Haha... my grandfather always called those electrician cutting plies (sidecuts) dykes!

Use your dykes to wack off a length of that wire!
