Mike Rowe a Baltimore Opera singer turned realist. I watched every episode of his series dirty jobs often thinking to myself no way a professional singer and actor is actually digging in and doing theses things. Then after a few seasons I noticed the realism of the work he was filming It was kind of a you just can't make this stuff up because I had done some of the things he was doing in the segments.
When in high school every year kids would try their best to win a coveted spot at the Ft. Worth fat Stock show sponsored by the FFA one year I raised a bull calf prospects were really looking good that my calf might get to go to the stock show I had shown it at the county fair and won a blue ribbon but my calf didn't make the cut, no big surprise there was a lot of competition and the calf and I didn't make it that's life he grew into a fine bull anyway and we managed to get a lot of calves from our heifers he serviced.
One of my female friends and her yew and newborn lambs did make it. and she castrated the lambs while at the stock show the same way Mike Rowe had to do. After wards at school someone started calling her bite em off Susie He was a townie and didn't understand and wouldn't have understood no matter what. One day Susan got tired of his stupidity and told him that she was more than willing to demonstrate the process in front of the class and explain the reason this was necessary that the lamb felt very little pain and, if he would be so kind as to volunteer she would prove it to him.
Tommy turned as pale as 2% milk then said no thanks

I knew he was philosophical but didn't know how articulate he was. Old Ted and must have missed it along the line or had a CRS moment. Seen a fair amount of his stuff, but this was excellent. Thanks TM51, this was really well said on so many levels.

re Frank S & PJs, including other attendees of this particular thread. I too, appreciate his presentations and KNEW Mr. Rowe's comments fit here, hand-lapped at finest measurable clearances.
I'm pleased, with all sincerity; to contribute, and respond, participating in an exchange representing untold thousands of hours (years?)worth of experience. It's remarkable totally different backgrounds can align into similar perspectives. The value stretches from backgrounds to viewpoints like a spider's web, suspended from otherwise unconnected Cartesian positions.
When first initiating Shop Truths, Phrases, Tales; and Outright Lies, I knew it'd be no stretch to create, recall, or stumble across suitable reinforcement illustrating the facet, what I'm certain ties us together. Yet the variety surprises me, never had guessed so many find this kind of collection appeal is rather universal.
Dead serious or funny, which only appear divergent on the surface, aren't. No question one exists, bolstered by the other. Opposites attract.

I especially liked his commentary about the time when he was doing the segment on the deadliest catch. when he asked the Captain OSHA and the captain's reply was osha OCEAN. then the clarification of his job was not to keep them safe but to make them rich. Meaning to me at least that by enlarge safety practices ultimately rest on the shoulders of those actually doing the job. Which also brings to mind something a Drill instructor once said. This hat I am wearing on my head does not mean that I am here to hold your hand or to kiss your skint knees and say soothing words to make it all better My job is to train you with the skills I have learned so you don't skin your knees, and to toughen you up so you can ignore the little scrapes you will get along the way . it is up to you not to fall down in the first place. I'm not your mother consider me as that old Uncle who is only going to be around for a while then leave.
So there was always some mouth in the platoon who would shout out a comment like SO WHEN ARE YOU LEAVING DRILL Sgt? The answer was usually just as soon as you can whip my expletive. PLATOOOONN ATEN' ---SHOOON, NOW drop and give me 50
