Possum

Yesterday at the safety meeting we got another story.  This one came up because Billy snuck up on Mr. Doyle. 

Mr. Doyle:  It's alright to sneak up on me, Billy, but don't startle me.  Did I tell you about my brother?  He startled me one day.  I swung around and I beat the hell out of him with a possum.  And he didn't have no possum to defend himself with. 

Everyone else:  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Mr. Doyle:  My dad was trying to hunt, and we were back there fightin', with a possum.

Today's Exploit:

The other night I had to do a Shallow Hole Test.  This is to make sure that the tool responds/demodulates when the mud starts pumping.  This means that it sends a bunc of 1s and 0s to the computer.  So they turned the pumps on for a while and tested the DD's tool.  Then they called me.

Mark:  Was that good for you?

Me:  It just came up, give me five more minutes.

Later Mark came down to the logging unit.

Mark:  Did you hear what I said?

Me:  What?

Mark:  I asked if that was good for you, and you said, "It just came up, give me five minutes".  Mr. Doyle got a kick out of that.

Me:  Huh. 

I'm pretty sure I turned about 14 violent shades of red.
