Joke For Dowding!
« on: May 19, 2003, 10:00:13 AM »
Three gay men died, and were going to be cremated. Their lovers
happened to be at the funeral home at the same time, and were
discussing what they planned to do with the ashes. The first man said,
"My Benny loved to fly, so I'm going up in a plane and scatter his
ashes in the sky." The second man said, "My Carl was a good fisherman,
so I'm going to scatter his ashes in our favorite lake." The third man
said, "My Jim was such a good lover, I think I'm going to dump his
ashes in a pot of chili, so he can tear my prettythang up just one more time.":D

:D

What is a 'Boxboy' anyway? Gimp slang for a rent-boy? And what's with the number? Is that your personal best in the Waterford "Maximum Number of Clients in a Night" competition?

You ought to be representing your country. Although you'd have a lot of competion from Saudaukar in that department. He's fortunate that his hobby is also his job.

Boxboy is a S/N i chose long ago, Since i have a degree in Packaging and i used to do sales  for a corrugated shipping container manufacturer (AKA BOXES) hence the box boy name came about, The 28 is the age i was when i first signed up. (im 31 now)

there you have it.
Now what EXACTLY is a "DOWDING"?

lol I wasn't very close was I? :D

I got my name from Hugh Dowding, of course, but it should be Keith Park. I got the two confused - Park flew combat missions or at least flew. He's who I had in mind. Doh! It's too late to change it now.

I did have Yossarian for a bit, but AH doesn't allow that many characters so it didn't look right.

I knew all the Jokes would tumble in!
Michigan State University MSU  is the 1# school in the world for Packaging. Now alot of fool say stuff like " so you work for UPp, FED EX , Do you bag groceries?   ive heard em all!

Just open your mind and think about how many packages you use in a day and how many items you use are not packaged?
Unless you pick the Apple off the tree its bee packaged severl times@!

:D

Several of my friends fol MSU school of packaging now work for alot of the Drug companies (big money)
But on average the Packaging Engineer will start out making more than most other types of engineers but im the long run the $ fall short for the pakaging guys.

heres an old saying from MSU ,most guys who went in engineering and dropped out (not me) but it goes down the line.

You can hack it Pack it  (dropped out of Engineering to packaging)
you cant Pack it  build it (dropped out of Packaging to BCM Building Construction Managment) -
The BCM guys actually make damn good money!

No insult intended

Sorry you took it as an insult.  It was not meant as such.  I was genuinely curious.  Thanks for the info.

I know a little about how profitable packaging can be.  My Dad used to run a business, the sole purpose of which was to construct shipping crates for Thermo King Semi Trailer Refrigerators.  He made many hundreds every day for many years!

Good luck, but could you come up with a better way to package those little peanut butter cheese crackers so they are eaiser to open!

:D :D :D

So do you design the packaging machines?

They are amazing to watch in action. I do technical laydowns for packaging as part of my job occasionally.

No  offense taken guys, I dont mind educating you ignorent folks.   lol  j/k  
Well im not longer in  the Feild of packaging.
But you have to understand the degree covers a very very large area of manufacturing, design , machinery , functionality and so on
as well as different materials from wood, paper, plastic, glass metals.

I got in to the Box business straight out of college as i interviewed for a sales position.
Other dudes i know did internships with the "Major Companies" durring the schooling so when they graduated most got jobs at those companies! I wasnt smart enough to do that , there was too much beer to be drank and too much partying i had to do instead!

:D

I left the company i was with cause it was a small mom and pop shop, Dad was head sales guy, His son, and me, So when i needed to get runs out of the presses i was allway in line behind those 2 and it makes it rather had to impress you customers when you cant get the product you promised to them on time.

Im now working for the  GM Facilities help desks (nothing to do with packaging)

But packaging is a huge market with alot of different parts!


:D  anyone feel a little smarter now?  
maybe not but i tried!

Box:D

They did already....you can get them in the same type of containers that "Pringles" come in...except the tubes are triangular in shape.
