My Straws Broke

“My straw has a hole in it and I can't suck the stuff out...any suggestions how to fix it?”

“Duct Tape.”

“Stick something in the hole to plug it up”

“tried tape already!

put what in the hole?”

“well you could always out your finger over the hole, or I bet you have some tape around there, though I for one would always prefer fingers on my straw over tape. Especially ductape. There will be no Ductape on my straw!

“Duct tape fixes everything, don't ya know. ;-)”

“tried tape already!

Yeah, but did you try duct tape?

Another suggestion - cut the straw at the hole.

Another suggestion - get a new straw.”

“You could go old school and simply drink out of the glass.”

“I don't want the details about what you have had Ductape fix for you SS.

Just put your finger in the hole CG. Trust me it will work for you. ;-)”

“Cut the straw just above or below the hole, and just use the longer piece.”

“By the way...you're not crazy, you are just plain silly.

:)”

LOL”

“I took a straw poll , but forgot the results.”

“Suck out of the new hole.”

“Post a picture of you sucking on it here so we can figure out what you're doing wrong.”

“Use a lighter to catherize the hole.”

“Bend the straw into a "V" shape, making the new hole the base of the "V".”

“What where you trying to suck out of it?”

“Do you have something sticky you can put on the hole?”

“From Spaceballs:

"SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!"

LMAO!”

“I think we are overlooking the obvious (LOL) blame it on Bush, demand Edwards or Hillary set up a government program to ensure better straws...(LOL)Or Blame it on China.

Nah, Crazy is too independent for that....she will solve it in her usual style and with the usual class. (LOL)

by the by...um how did the hole get there in the first place.....?”

“Geeez Louise...I knew I could count on you guys for some wonderful advice...

hole is to low to cut of straw...can't reach the other end if I do that!

Melting is a great idea...no matches.

Duct tape...do ya have to use duct tape for EVERYTHING???

I actually tried to suck out of the "problem" hole...to see if I could get enough suction but it was too big!

WHAT am I trying to get out of the straw? Nothing now...there is a hole in it!”

“XL..this is not a fuego thread...there are no politicians allowed...although..they are a bunch of suckers and could probably fix the situation!

It was broken in the wrapper!”

“hole is to low to cut of straw...can't reach the other end if I do that!

Can't you flip it over?”

“You know I have heard of all kinds of flow disorders once you pierce your straw. I would recomend avoiding pierced straws in the future.”

“hole is in the middle of the straw...if I cut it off below the hole...the straw will be too short.

BTW...I tried the flip firs thing!

OH..and it is root beer in the cup. I gave up on the straw and just drank it...wasn't as fun but oh well...yall had me laughing by butt off.

Got any other problems we can solve?”

“MG...you are a hoot...piercing can be quite painful...I hear!”

“I gave up on the straw and just drank it...”

Well done, CG. It's best that way, just drink it down...”

“Every bit!!!”

“Good girl.


You know this is just as much fun as the muffin thread...”

“Here's one for ya:

If you can laugh your butt off, can you cry your butt on?”

“I thought of you and the muffin thread when you hopped on.”

““Every bit!!!”

I think I'm starting to fall in love.”

“stay away! I insinuated her first!!!”

“Ah, muffin. A hot muffin for lunch would be so good right now... *drool running down chin*”

“Boys boys...take a number...you can share.”

“I pick #1. You got #2 meangreen!”

“dumbasses, just cut enough off the short end so that when you plunge the straw into the wetstuff that the hole is in the fluid. Now you can drink until the fluid level is below the hole once more. Repeat until you have cut off all of the hole beneath the hole and can no longer get your mouth over the shaft. At this point you can discard the vessel and its remaining contents. Or if the vessel is not disposable and you have foolishly made a permanent commitment to it, then you will just have to quit waste time with the two short equipment and put your mouth to use on the lip of the vessel.”

“geez..i don't know if i should be thirsty or wet...damn hyway...”

“spoken like a true engineer!”

“Isn't he awesome?

Almost a good birthday present isn't it NG?”

“The correct answer is both NG, now please allow Chili to give you your birthday present.


Sarge, are you refering to points of entry, or order of participation?”

“yeah .. almost ;)”

“no worries MG..we will be exchanging gifts very soon...”

“LMAO! Well put.”

“MG...I think he was referring to position...you were a bit slow on response time. However if he doesn't show up for his alloted time soon I might be able to work you in!”

“I'm on 81 right now!”

“Golf Balls through Garden Hoses....


Look, just replace the whole dang apparati if ya can't engineer a repair to a single component...

"Uneconomical to repair"

Figure this: Cost of NEW Apparati (also consider the tax advantages = to capital improvements)as compared to the cost of repair material + Manhour repair costs + Loss of productivity calculations.

probably not a valid deduction but consider the total loss of productivity of all th posters here that are consulting on repair of equipment that is not within their purview....

BACK TO WORK, SLACKERS!”

“You have numbers for each position? I thought most folks gave them names. I bet you could manage to just barely slide me in though, right? LOL! You ain't right! LOL!”

“:-(

You are no fun ST...!

However we fixed the initial problem already...and have moved on to other issues at hand!

Sarge...you are awesome...can I keep you?”
