the mysterious probe number ‘4′
When I first purchased a thermal measuring device for my workplace’s lab, one of our technicians, Milkboy, had a hard time understanding its functions. So, being a nice person I always am, I helped him up by giving him a thorough tutorial on how to operate the damn thing … and even went to the extend of labelling each of its 4 probes with numbered tags - all for his convenience.
It was all supposedly ok for him until one afternoon, when he came to me with this perplexed look…
“Mike, I don’t get it. The probes, they’re damn confusing.”
“What about it?”
“I couldn’t seem to find probe number 4.”
“Is it missing or something?”
“No no … there are indeed 4 probes, but I can only figure out 3 of them… the 4th one, I don’t know what is it for…”
“What?” I was very confused.
“You labeled the probes for me, remember? I can only find probe number ‘1′, ‘2′ and ‘3′. There’s no probe number ‘4′. The 4th one was labeled as a really weird looking ‘F’… I don’t know what’s the ‘F’ probe doing there…”
It’s indeed weird. As far as I can remember, I’ve never labeled any probe as a ‘weird looking F’. So, being curious myself, I dragged that technician along to check the odd probe out… and here’s what I saw:
I immediately knew what the problem was… and confronted him
“Friend, you saw 4 probes. 3 of the probes are labeled ‘1′, ‘2′ and ‘3′ respectively… but the 4th one, you think it’s labeled as a ‘WEIRD LOOKING F’ instead of number ‘4′… right?”
“Yes, that’s right”
“Can you please fucking tilt your head 90 degrees to the right and look again?”
classic.. lol this guy is surely very blur..
i wonder how does your technician land themself a job…ahhahahhaha
That’s your subconcious working there, Mike. Its not a four. That’s a fuck.
Or a deformed swastika.
I see a mirrored seven. Lolz.
Kebodohan yg tidak terhingga…
90 degree to your right or my right?
u’re making dis up mike :p
it’s common sense, 4 is after 3… hahahaha…
i swear on losing all my pubic hairs, that this is very real. I didn’t make this up.
wah! lots of very blur sotong-sss working with you mike..
fry them! fried sotong! yummy!
Your company is resorting to cutting cost by hiring primary school leavers?
As a fellow engineer I feel your pain Michael. The bloke could have used his head: 1,2 and 3 covered. What could this strage probe be? The one thats left?
Try 6, 9 and b.
I actually asked him “What the fuck is wrong with you???” before stomping off the room…
Why aren’t you dead from heart attack yet?
hahahahahahaahhaha!!!!!
I’m outta words.
next time use alpha markings such as F,U,C,K. I’m sure he’ll place the probes 100% in order with extreme pleasure.
Heh… heh.. Mike, reminds me of the asst. manager at my place, when told of the size of a poster as 20 x 30, asked me back “Inches or Feet?”
At least your’s is a tecnician. Mine’s a farking asst. manager.
well…i’m working as a lab technician and the electrodes on our gel apparatus are black and red to match the plugs on the wires. The electrodes have pieces of tape labeled “BLACK” and “RED” because one girl who had my job before didn’t get it.
