A blonde girl calls her neighbor and says “come over here I have a difficult puzzle that I can not solve, can you come over and help me?” So the neighbour comes and says: ik wat is the puzzle supposed to be when it is finished?”. The girl says “according to the box it is supposed to be a red rooster when it is finished”

The man takes a look at the box and the pieces that are spread on the table and says: “well, we won’t get anything even remotely resembling a red rooster from these pieces. Let’s just relax, have a cup of coffee and let's put the cornflakes back in the box”

It was Sept. ‘67. My battalion was getting brought up to staffing level and we had a lot of training. I was in the motor pool with my guys. I saw the 1LT XO, under my 3/4 with the new 2LT and a couple tools.  Uhoh, gotta watch this. As I saw the XO reach up with tools under the transmission, I said, “Sir, that’s the drain plug. The check plug is a little higher.”

 

afterwards I had the driver check that both plugs were tightened properly.

Moron walks into a lumber yard. The salesman asks, “What can I help you with?”

Moron: “I need some 4-by-2s.”

Salesman chuckling to himself: “Well sir, we are fresh out of 4 by 2’s, but we just got in a load of 2-by-4s. Will that work for you”?

Moron: “Hmm, let me go ask my brother.” He leaves and comes back shortly replying, “Ok, I guess that will be ok.”

Salesman: “How long would you like them?”

Moron: “Hmmm, let me ask my brother.” He leaves comes back shortly. “We want them for a long time because we're going to build a garage.”

I can see where that would be an expensive bench.

 

Since a 2x4 is a piece of lumber, while a 4x2 is a two wheel drive pickup truck.

But a 4x4 can be either.

I will admit that I do not speak Australian. But it is my understanding that a ute is a station wagon with the back half of it cut off.

     ........ and that's important because .........???

Because HERE it's a PICKUP TRUCK!:D

Note that a pickup truck has a seperate cab and bed :

 

1966-ford-f100

The ute, however does not. The ute looks like Sawzall Willie turned loose on a small car and chopped off the back of the cabin and just replaced the window. 

There's nothing wrong with them, they're just NOT a pickup truck.
