The other week, a joiner on site was going round at the end of the job to measure up. The labourer said to him "Are you away to measure up? You don't need such a big tape measure".

Another one was about two years ago on a job with a squad of tilers. There was a father and son and a few others. One of the tilers said at the teabreak "I had a dream last night that I was riding Jenny (their daughter/sister), it was so realistic and she was an animal". The young apprentice piped in "Did you have it up her hole?". Needless to say the father and son didn't find it as amusing as everyone else.

I was working away on a job when I was an apprentice and the job was being run by the firms plumber

he was full of himself and like a little hitler, he couldnt have kids so we used to call him jaffa which really annoyed him

every week he would bring 5 hard boiled eggs , one for each day and every day he would crack the shell on his forehead before peeling it, one day we hatched a plan {groan} to replace the egg with an unboiled one. I ended up sitting next to him on a stack of scaffold boards and for some reason he changed tack and cracked the egg on the board. after we had all stopped laughing he said to me whats that, pointing at the egg spilt on the board , what have you been doing

I replied ,,,,,,,,,,,its not mine ive got tadpoles in mine

One day when I was in the army the adjutant's wife was in the mess wearing large medallion on a chain round her neck. I asked her what the medal was for. She jokingly replied it was for being mayor of Cyprus. Without thinking I asked if she had checked the spelling on the citation. She just laughed but he husband was not amused.

my fave is one I heard off a site agent whilst describing a plumber (I think!..oh memory loss!) his line was "He couldn't pour P*** out of a shoe if the instructions were on the heel"..I use that one all the time!

I'll have to remember that one, the 'he couldn't run a pee'up in a brewery' has worn well thin. And the 'about as good as a chocolate fireguard/kettle' one's pretty expected these days.
