Something to lighten the mood

bull shift

I like it. Much more clever than buck shift.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Maybe both?

Now now, this is a family forum.

Really?

Sometimes I feel I'm off my trolley! 😀

OFF YOUR TROLLEY - "adj. British. deranged, unstable, crazy"

Cool 🙂

Exactly JMF!

The phrase off one’s trolley is based on the image of a trolley-wheel coming off its trolley-wire, which seems to have especially happened when a trolley-car was rounding a bend.

 

[Galu]

Keep your undergarments off the trolley wire!

The kids in San Fransisco used to get great laughs running up behind the electric buses and pulling the arms off the wires. Oddly, no one else found it funny.

I'd move the insulator to the bottom of the rope.

I'd move the insulator to the bottom of the rope.

Great idea! 😀

I think you need direct access/contact between roller and wire.

Not sure what insulator configuration would allow that.

I hope your mother tanned your bottom when she found out.

These are called pantographs.
Insulators at bottom.
From Wikipedia.

 

[Galu]

Ditch the pantograph.

What we need is pantomime! 😀

 

[cracked case]

OH NO WE DON'T!
I have enough of a pantomime at work.

 

[Galu]

Put work BEHIND YOU!

 

[Galu]

I used to have a job as a pantomime horse, but I quit while I was a head.

What did Cinderella say when the chemist mislaid her photos?

Some day my prints will come.

Dame: I’ve been married 16 times.

Buttons: 16?

Dame: Yes, four richer, four poorer, four better, four worse.
