I was against hiring a guy who had a great story. He would be 200-250 years old to have done all the things he claimed.
The owner hired him anyway. He also said he was well versed in doing maintenance on the small fleet we had of a few things. My wife gave him a want list of tools to get out. He asked for a tape measure. She asked why? He said so he could see what size the wrenches and sockets were.
Crystal looked at him showed him the wrenches and sockets. Idiot says cool that will save time. Clearly he did not ever hold any wrenches or sockets before. He even said wow that's cool they stamped and marked them so you do not have to measure them to get the right one.
And if ya wondering, no he did not work out.
Based on the number of barbed wires that are imbedded deep into the trees we have around the edge of our property here: 4 feet.
Also, when I was wee lad I carved my initials into a pine tree where we used to fish. Many years later I checked, and the initials were still the same height.

Simple! Tighten one until it strips, take it out, Helicoil it, and then all of the rest of them get just a little less torque!
I joke of course….
My ex-wife used to tell a tale about a Final exam she took in College, for a Philosophy class. When the students entered the classroom the white video screen was pulled down (remember those?), and the Professor said the question was written on the blackboard behind it. When he raised the screen the blackboard only had one word on it:
Why?
She thought about it for a couple minutes, wrote “Why not?”, and handed-in her blue exam book.
She got an A in the class, while several of her “smarter” friends, ones who tried to actually explain “why”, got much lesser grades.
It’s all in how you interpret the question sometimes.

OK, this is kind of similar. You put an empty rowboat in a swimming pool, fill it up with big rocks until the water is about to flow over the edges and then you mark the water level on the side of the pool. Then you take all the rocks out of the boat and toss them into the pool where they sink to the bottom, leave the empty boat in the pool and mark the water level again.
Did the water level go up, down or stay the same?
Did the water level go up, down or stay the same?
That is a matter of displacement. Rocks in the pool have the same effect as in the boat pushing the boat down aside from the thickness and area of the body of the boat.
Just like 10 fat women jumpin in the pool.
Or my ex wife and three identical friends.

It went up, but not as high
If Rob farted in the Woods, would anyone hear it, and if so would they think it's just a Bear ?
If you had an aquarium with water that weighed say 15# and you added a fish that weighs 5#. .Would it then weigh #20 ?
