We've been using differential girdle springs for years.
 
I was surprised when told that we used have a lot of masticators in our factory.
 
I still have a hard time with the "bastard file"
 
...how about the "tickler file"...:redface:...I have to suppress a giggle whenever I hear it!
 
The word transistor was never the same to me after I heard about the nun that had a sex change.

I heard that same joke on Saturday on PHC. But then it is probably an old EE joke.

"Dongle" always makes me laugh.

"Well just go plug that there dongle into that peripheral."
