LOL! Too funny! I had the bright idea of sitting right under a vertical weldment once, and lost it. Molten metal landed directly on my pocket, with my phone and wallet in it. Was a bad day hahahaha!

Lol all this **** is true hahahaha .

When cutting excess bolts off your frame that previous owner left make sure
You cut into your transmission cable when your cutoff wheel kicks back so your truck can sit in the same spot till amazon delivers another one

It's not just the dingle berries circling your anus that you need to worry about while sitting down and welding...

If your pants and underwear garments aren't very good at catching the welding slag, Your Twig and Berries won't be any better at catching welding slag either...

Never drink beer while rebuilding old school front steering linkage it is possible (don't ask me how I know) to make the car turn the opposite way you turn the wheel. Its a serious head scratcher the next day.

Funny thing is I have experienced some of these this week. Building an 83 c10. Welding in flip flops and shorts will have u jumping, couple sparks on the legs and feet, no better on the arms with no sleeves. Had one spark go in each ear and one down my *** crack. I rolled the truck outside the shop though, 110 degrees outside but cooler than the shop. One last thing to remember, that patch panel you just trimmed down did not cool instantly, got a nice burn on the fingertips.

When unbolting the box of a truck, be sure to use the biggest strong arm and longest extension you own. So, when you are really yankin' on it, you punch yourself in the mouth.

Don't weld overhead in shorts crouched down. Slag WILL enter your shorts and you WILL have roasted nuts. No fun.

dear dad, 2 liter coke bottles are not a good place to store used boat motor oil. on a hot day, your child is likely to get a good 3 or 4 gulps down before figuring out that it is not coke.
