Oilfield Joke: A Tool Pusher and His Wife


The Tool Pusher suspected his wife was not hearing as well as she used to, and he thought she might need a hearing aid.  Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem.

The doctor told him there is a simple informal test the tool pusher could perform to give the doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.  "Here's what you do," said the doctor.  "Stand about 40 feet away from her and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you.  If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.

That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den.  He said to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away.  Let's see what happens.”  In a normal tone he asked, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

No response...  So the tool pusher moved ten feet closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife, and repeated, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

Still no response... Next he moved into the dining room where he was about 20 feet from his wife and asked, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

Again, no response... Then he walked up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away.  "Honey, what's for dinner?"

Again, there was no response... So he walked right up behind her.  "Honey, what's for dinner?"

She spins around and yell's  " BOB!  FOR THE FIFTH TIME!... WE'RE HAVING STEAK!"

Oilfield Joke: A Wildcatter's New Son in Law


A successful Wildcatter's daughter married a roughneck and the father had a meeting with his new son-in-law.  "I love my daughter, and now I welcome you into the family," said the man.

"To show how much we care for you, I've made you a 50-50 partner in my business. All you have to do is go out into the patch every day and learn the operations."

The roughneck interrupted, "I hate just driving around.  I can't stand the lack of dangerous activity."

"I see," replied the father-in-law.  "Well, then you can work in the office and take charge of some of the operations."

"I hate office work," said the roughneck.  "I can't stand being stuck behind a desk all day."

"Wait a minute," said the father-in-law.  "I just gave you half interest in a profitable business, but you don't like field work and won't work in a office.  What am I going to do with you?"

"Easy," said the roughneck… "Buy me out."
