    In my city there is one street for the hookers called Manchester Street. Yeah, my work overlooks a wee ally way off that and when I'm working my shift on Friday nights I always see a hooker sleeping with a guy. Always different hookers, always different guys, sometimes a girl.

    But there are a few regulars.

    Well we're getting an Auger microprobe system running so that we can determine the surface chemical composition of our samples. The turbo pump wasn't running up to full speed, so I had to unscrew its flange from the system and replace it with a gasket.

    So now in order to remove it from the system, I had to unscrew the cooling water lines. When we replaced them, water was just spraying everywhere.

    It turns out that I forgot to put in a couple washers!

    And not only that, but the problem wasn't with the turbo pump in the first place: it was a poor seal on one of the copper gaskets in the load-lock LOLOLOLOLOL

    That reminds me of the Steve Martin bit (I think it's from the album 'Let's Get Small')

    Ok, I don't like to gear my material to the audience but I'd like to make an exception because I was told that there is a convention of plumbers in San Francisco this week - I understand about 30 of them came down to the show tonight - so before I came out I worked-up a joke especially for the plumbers. Those of you who aren't plumbers probably won't get this and won't think it's funny, but I think those of you who are plumbers will really enjoy this...

    This lawn supervisor was out on a sprinkler maintenance job and he started working on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7" gangly wrench. Just then, this little apprentice leaned over and said, "You can't work on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7" wrench." Well this infuriated the supervisor, so he went and got Volume 14 of the Kinsley manual, and he reads to him and says, "The Langstrom 7" wrench can be used with the Findlay sprocket." Just then, the little apprentice leaned over and said, "It says sprocket not socket!"
