Things your Dad used to say.

My father was an operating engineer/equipment operator like myself, ready mix concrete plants.
The first thing he would say entering the plant in the morning, "I hate Teamsters". At least one time during the day they would remind him why he said that every morning. One Christmas I got him a 34" Louisville Slugger with "Teamster Attitude Adjustment Tool" engraved in it with a rack that resembled a wall type gun rack, and that rack hung on the walls in his plants for many years.
"Stay away from Hot Plants. They're dirty and they smell bad". He told me that when I was an apprentice engineer. Didn't work, I did Hot/Asphalt Plants for the better part of 30 years. It's just concrete with different colored stinky cement :rolleyes:. The truck driver sentiment carried over too, imagine that.
