A true Straight Dope moment.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

This I had to share, even though Wally was before my time…

I was driving in to work today, late. Long story. Anyway… I passed these highway department vehicles on the shoulder, doing cleanup and cutting brush and the like. Traffic was slow (hey, this is California, when is it now?) and I stopped right by one of them. Being bored, I looked over at them idly, expecting to see the name Asplundt or John Deere or something…

…but the name of the manufacturer of the chipper/shredder thingy? Putzmeister. Right hand to the heavens, swear to God, Putzmeister. I had myself a good laugh, sitting in traffic on 101 North.

A couple of links that are appropriate: the Putzmeister home page and the ironic PutzMeister World of Concrete, I guess that’s where all the trolls get their ideas. :wink:

Odie that is toooo funny!

And Simetra, it was funny once. Twice is pushing it. Well, ok, since it’s you, it’s ok. :wink:

Oh, and when I said:

It’s now now. I meant not.

The Curse of the Putz.

Apparently by mentioning the word putz in the OP of the thread, you’ve cursed every odd poster to make a putz-like mistake.

:smiley:

The real stupid thing is, I didn’t even notice that I did that.

I dunno, Sim, there’s a lot of odd posters 'round these parts… :wink:

That’s right up there with the time I was in the thrift store and saw a record by a group called “GRY”! (I think it was the guy’s name, but that didn’t keep me from cracking up over it.)
