Frank Turley Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The sign in Spanish is 'tong in cheek,' as if we don't get enough smoke blowing around in the shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chyancarrek Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Those are great Frank. The last one is a little on the rude side tho. You could have shown a little courtesy with a " Donkeyshane" at the end there (; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Turley Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 The Germanese sign reminds me of the old Katzenjammer Kids cartoon. Some of the characters spoke in that manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Having worked with some old school Germans I have to say that that sign is a bit on the *mild* side! I realized how far we had corrupted a German colleague when he actually admitted that my wife's opinion was right and his was wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOblacksmith0530 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I work for a German machine company and have been working with one of their techs for a week and I haven't killed him..... yet, I did actually get an apology out of him the other day when he was trying to get a broken grease fitting out and didn't have the tool for it due to its location. I offered mine and he started to explain how it wouldn't work, I tossed it back in the box and said okay and walked back over to what I was doing and left him to simmer. A half hour later he came over and apologized and asked if I would show him how to do it with my tool. I XXXXXXXX near passed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
