My favourite one and I can't remember who posted it originally, but the story about bump starting a chainsaw cause the pull cord broke is brilliant!! Run it along the log with the chainbrake off and at the last minute, flick the switch down!! haha!!

a local farm mechanic got his junior guy to hold the spark plug whilst he turned the ngine over on an old petrol tractor saying he needed to check for a spark

the same guy also had such dry hands he could grab electric fences and then grab someone else and hey would get the shock not him

When I was 16 I did a weeks work experience at an aircraft maintenance co. at Staverton airport near Gloucester (arranged by the school). A few days in I was told to go and get some "prop-wash" from another co so off I went. The men over in the other hangar knew what to do - fill a big container (30 litres or so) with tap water, add a few bog blocks etc. Just they filled it to the brim (no lid) and told me to go bl**dy steady as it would melt the tarmac where aeroplanes would taxi. Took me 20 mins or so with this open drum on a sack truck to cross 30 metres of tarmac. Was crapping myself as the tinyest splash came out. They must have been killing themselves!
