Too Immature for Work
I’ve only laughed out loud inappropriately one time at work, because a certain doctor friend of mine told me a hilarious story. That is surprising considering the sexually suggesting terminology in my line of work. Allow me to share some of the things that I have had to adjust to in my work.
When you gather piping together for a customer it’s called pulling pipe. At my work, we are constantly pulling pipe.

This is a ball valve. It contains a ball and stem. This one has male screwed ends. You can get them with female screwed ends as well. You can also get them in butt weld.

A piece short pipe with threads on both ends is called a nipple. A nipple! Are you kidding me? These are noted by their material, diameter, and length. I have had the unfortunate luck of asking for a 2″ x 4″ black nipple. No one should have to ask for black nipples unless they are in a strip club.
I just sold a customer this exact line item: 1/2″ try cock. I don’t know about that. Even if it’s only 1/2″ I still don’t think I am ready to try it just yet.
