Oilfield Joke: Hot Shots and Rig Hands

Sam the Hot Shot Driver had hauled some equipment to the drilling location and by the time they got him unloaded, it was nearly dark.

He knew there was a good chance he would get stopped if his trailer lights weren’t working, so he decided to check them out before starting for home.

Just as he got to his pickup and trailer, he spotted Leroy, one of the new rig hands, headed for the rig.
Sam yelled, “Hey Leroy, give me a hand.”

Leroy walked over and Sam asked him to stand behind the trailer and let him know if the lights were working.

“Are the tail lights working?” asked Sam.

“Yeah”, said Leroy.

“How about the brake lights?” asked Sam.

“They’re working”, said Leroy.

“OK, here goes the left turn signal.  Is it working?” asked Sam.

Leroy answered, “Yes… No… Yes… No…Yes...No....Yes.....No.”

Oilfield Joke: You Can't Take it with You.


An old oil and gas producer was on his death bed and he was obsessed with taking some of his money with him. He called his minister, his lawyer, and his partner to his bedside. "Here's $30,000 cash to be held by each of you. I'm trusting you to put the money in my coffin."

At the funeral, each man put an envelope in the coffin.  As they drove to the cemetery, the minister suddenly broke into tears and confessed, "My envelope only had $20,000 in it because the Church needs $10,000 for roof repair."

"Well, since we're confiding in each other," said the lawyer, "I only put $10,000 in my envelope. I provide free legal services to an orphanage that will soon have to close unless it raises $20,000."

"I'm ashamed of both of you," said the oil and gas producers partner... "I want it known that I put a check in my envelope for the full $30,000."
