Open Mouth, Insert Foot... Unless Nobody Notices......
So I'm talking to one of the foremen for one of the contractors at the jobsite...
Foreman: So you can see how this flange is Sch. 40, and the pipe is Sch. 160. There are no Sch. 160 2" flanges, so we can't just change out the flange.
Me: And we need the Sch. 160 pipe, because it's going to be welded to the tank wall.
Foreman: Yeah.... so what do you want us to do? We can make it work, if we have to.
Me: Well, if you could jig something up, that would be perfect.
The foreman was black. Thankfully, there was no reaction....
And if you don't know what I'm talking about, then you're just not up on your racial slurs... which, I guess, is a good thing.........
