It happened again

[tombrown]

I've been on the phone dealing on a couple of propellers and it happened again. I love my cordless phone and I understand that people have to go to the bathroom but I'd like to say this: people can tell when you are taking a dump while talking on the phone. It's hard not to laugh when speech patterns are interrupted by moments of concentration followed by plopping sounds. I don't know what's more distracting… the sound of flushing afterward or not hearing that sound. Either way, I need to hear some water running in the sink afterward. Otherwise, I'll have to boil my arm if I ever have to shake that hand. [shudder]

Life is good, though. I have three props on the way: 28p Chopper II, 20p Trophy, and a 29p SRX. This lot ought to keep my propeller fetish at bay for a week or two. I'd sure like to get hold of an AeroStar shifting prop, though. I've found a few of them but no one has returned my repeated emails inquiring into availability.


Live long and prosper,

Tom Brown

That is funny how some people try to pull that off. Just a couple of weeks ago I was talking on the phone with my friend's wife and he started yelling at her in the background about her manners because she was taking a whiz while talking with me on the phone. Though I have to admit that I've been caught a few times where I thought I'd have to just hit the nearest garbage can because I had some motor mouth on the line and couldn't get rid of them. That's when a cordless would have been more convenient than my ancient AT & T Trimline 210. But I don't know what's more rude; hanging up on someone before you fill your shorts or taking the phone with you into the crapper.

Oh well, looks like you have a few props to keep you busy testing. I tested a few props and decided to quit farting around after I discovered that the one that came with the boat when I bought it was the best.

Every day I in this shop workin my but off. When time is money, you have to take advantage of wasted time. Hence the bathroom break while some one is yakkin up a storm.

If they could just make quieter toilets no one would know. maybe the trick is too have a better phone that doesn't pick up the back ground.

Hey Bird, when the muzzle velocity is mach 2.0, there's going to be a splash. I know time is money but there are some things that are worth spending time on. :D

It's usually obvious before they start their "business" Their voice all of a sudden has reverb or a slight echo.

I've been on both sides of that phone call. All I can say is, when ya gotta go...ya gotta go. :eek:
