I cut it twice and it’s still too short.

I told that to a Supervisor Once and I Was dragged before the Super Duper Supervisor and Accused of Purposely Destroying Materials!
I’m not joking now !
I spent at Least an hour explaining it to a Retired Naval Submarine Commander.
I could hardly keep a straight face but knew that it was Hillarious/Dangerous.
They Ran the Deep Sea Recovery Vehicle
(DSRV) program at North Island for
Lockheed-Martin San Diego.
Probably good I can’t remember Names.
Cheers

“I cut it twice and it’s still too short.”

That was my dad’s favorite saying...except he always said it in German! He was born in Germany and came to the states when he was 3, so he basically learned English as his first language. Not sure how much German was spoken at home, but he spoke some.

But it was always hilarious to hear him say it in German. I just remember “zweimal” and that’s it. I’d make a stupid goof in the shop, get really angry at myself, and he’s say that. I calmed down immediately. Dear old dad...miss him so much.
