From some stiff necked old coot talking about "At Hamilton Standard we made propellers and transmission gearboxes for military and commercial applications. They made brassieres." To this sharp old girl talking about "I was making baby pants and they asked me if I wanted to try something different. They put me in charge of quality control, and I issued each girl color coded pins. I was examining one suit, and I found a red pin, so I looked up who was issued the red pins and I went over to her and said "Here's your pin" and I stuck her in the behind with it." I like to think those two are married. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] PoopingCough@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 child) Would love to know the name of the doc if you can remember! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago Moon Machines Episode 5. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 points 10 months ago That's a great story.
