Oilfield Joke: A Tool Pushers Final Journey

A priest was preparing a Tool Pusher for his final journey... 
Whispering urgently, the priest said, "Denounce the devil! Let him know that you reject his evil!" 
The Tool Pusher said nothing. 
The priest repeated his order. Still the Tool Pusher said nothing. 
The priest asked, "Why do you refuse to denounce the devil and his evil?" 

The Tool Pusher said, "Until I know where I'm heading, I don't think I ought to aggravate anybody!"  

Happy Holidays and May God Bless You from Oilfield Appreciation Days! 

Huge Thank You to all of the Sponsors and Shooters at the Permian Basin Shoot

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."

From the folks here at Oilfield Appreciation Days, We hope you have a Great Friday!

One More Home Initiative

Oilfield Appreciation Days is honored to add the One More Home Initiative to our list of benefiting charities for the Permian Basin Sporting Clay Classic event that is being held on November 1-2 at Windwalker Farms near Midland Texas.

Join us in supporting this very worthwhile cause.

Did you know?

54% of the children picked up by Child & Family Protective Services in the Permian Basin are sent out of our region due to a severe shortage of families willing to provide that foster care.

The Initiative

The "ONE MORE HOME" Initiative is an initiative by pastors and agencies in our community to call the body of Christ to step up and respond to this significant need in the community by releasing 200 families into the foster system in the next 18-24 months beginning on Jan 15th, 2012.

Oilfield Joke for Friday: The Cowboy Company Man

Stan was a Company Man that had recently been relocated to West Texas from the East Coast and he decided that since he now wore boots and a Stetson all the time, he should own a horse. 

 He heard about an old Mexican man who had a horse for sale and gave him a call.  The old man said the horse was well broken,  gentle enough for his grandchildren to ride, and that he wanted $250 for him.   

Suspiciously, Stan said, "$250 isn't much for that kind of horse.  What's wrong with him?"  The old man said, "He don't look so good."

Because the price was right, Stan decided to go over and take a look at the horse.  The old Mexican man took him out to the corral and there was a teenage granddaughter leading a good-looking bay gelding around  with a piece of baler twine and 3 little kids on his back.  Stan had seen enough... he slapped leather, peeled off $250 in cash before the old man could raise the price, and included $20 extra for delivery.

The next morning, the gelding was in his corral. He went out, saddled him up, and rode down to the creek... where the bay immediately walked off the creek bank.  As they fell 5 feet into the water, Stan bailed off and watched in dismay as the horse got up, ran down the creek until he bounced off a big boulder, took a left and hit a tree dead-on and then stood there, shaking.  The company man realized the horse was blind.  

He led the horse home, unsaddled him, went to the house and immediately called the old Mexican man.  

"Why didn't you tell me that the horse was blind?" he demanded.  The old man said, "I did, Senor.  I told you he don't " look " so good."
