What fun! I read the first post and thought I'd go to the bottom and insert some suitably anarchic post! Got here after the party! Story of my life really.
Anyway, better late than never!!!

I love to go down to Hanks...
And walk to the cool river banks...
One day in the grass..
I stepped on an ass..
And heard a young girl murmer... Thanks!

Male parts are all intact/functioning properly

Man calling his urologist, his name "Ben Dover" - naturally the operator thinks it's a prank call, but of course it isn't.

New young male operator takes a message for a female company president from her doctors office, "The doctor said your Pabst Beer was fine!"

We get a call from a woman who asks to speak to a lady named "Diona" at a largish vending machine company. We dutifully take the message. Later the client calls in and says "I don't have anyone named Diona working here. Are you sure this call is for my company?" We explain that we just have to make a message without giving the caller cause to be irritated. The client hangs up, calls the lady, then calls us back laughing hysterically! She says, "Well I's gotta tell ya'all I is de Owner of dis company!

A prank call to a bailbondsman is missed by an operator who must have at least three living brain cells. Why? The caller's supposed name was, "Hugh G. Rection"

My partner heard that and ran around for 15 minutes announcing "My dixie wrecked!" and laughing.

Oh it's fun to serve people!

I went to college with a guy who was the epitome of wayward and self-destructive. Using a pay phone he would dial the international code for Iceland and then a random number. When it was answered he'd scream: "what ****ing time do you call this?! don't you know you should be in bed!!" in a Scandinavian accent. It came as something of a shock when we heard that Special Branch (the UK FBI) were trying to find out who had done it. He'd managed to dial the Icelandic Prime Minister's private number! Lol!

Some of the most heated arguments on this forum are about tow vehicles. It seems to be the accepted opinion that the biggest is the best and you catch h*** if you should dare to disagree.

Here's something I think is interesting. Almost ALL of the big eighteen wheelers have six cylinder diesel engines. Don't believe me? Ask. The popular logic here is that the tow vehicle should weigh "at least" as much as the trailer it is pulling. Yet 80M is the limit for big rigs, and only 25 or 30M is the TV. The TV weighs only about a third of the weight of the trailer. You think there might be some other things to consider?

Aren't those bluebonnets pretty this year?

You have made my point for me. To safley tow a 16 Bambi you MUST use a Ford F350 dually.

( I know this was posted tongue-in-chique, but I'll answer anyway for the benefit of future generations)
Part of the difference between the two, is the six cylinder engines used have hundreds of horsepower, and tons of torque, because of their sheer size.
Another difference is the way the truck and trailer are connected. Ever see WD and sway control on a fifth wheel trailer? Although, when one does "get away" from the driver, the results are usually spectacular, and messy at best.

**Action** · 03-27-2007, 08:59 AM

Tractors with trailers have multi-speed axles and 10 to 15 speed trannys. The RPM band is narrow for when power or torque is developed. Get a six with a long stroke and you to can be a trucker. Ford's 300 six could out pull the 302 V-8 and most of the time the 351 V-8. It wasn't as fast, it just could out pull 'em.

Torque is how much an engine will pull, horsepower is how fast it will pull it. We'd better change the subject now, it is starting to look like we are hijacking this thread!

Isn't that byrum the stuff that glows in Xrays? It tastes terrible, and is worse as an enema...

Nope. Not touching that one.

For those of you who have never taken an engine apart, the piston size of a F-350 is about the size of a can of peas. The piston size of a Volvo 6 cyl. diesel is just a little bigger than a 5 lb. coffee can. You do the math. Add to that a total of 32 gear combinations and it doesn't take Enstien to figure out how tractors work vs. our TV's. In addition, we all know you need to factor in the TV wheel base vs. weight distribution vs. stopping power. Tracktor Tailers in combination have 10 braked axles! Also, have you ever riden in a tractor not towing a trailer? It is the worst ride you would ever want to take. But you take out TV with the Airstream and it is a wonderful ride. Just can't compare the two.

2airishuman · 04-05-2007, 03:26 PM

i'm pretty sure wally carried a can of peas and a can of coffee,

but einstein was not on the trip.

he did however, ride a bicycle.

in circles or was it hexagons?

i'll get back 2 ya on that...

after the colonic
