Joke: He Made Tool Pusher

Oilfield Joke: He Made Tool pusher....

 
This old boy from South Louisiana was working a derrick in Brazil.

Every day on his tower he would see this monkey watching him from a tree, so he started bringing up bananas and feeding the monkey.


It didn't take long and that monkey was in the derrick with him. He taught the monkey how to rack pipe.


After a few days the derrick hand didn't have to do anything. The monkey was doing it all.


The company hired the monkey (because he worked for bananas) and the rig hand got laid off. He went back home to South Louisiana.


He sat home for 6 months then the phone rang. His previous employer wanted to know if he wanted his old job back in Brazil?!?!?


Right away he said "You bet! I guess Y'all finally figured out that I was better than that monkey, huh?"


They said "Nope, the monkey made tool pusher, he's the one that told us to call you."
 
 
I have a lot of friends in the oil field and they are continually sending me oil field jokes. This one had me laughing.

Than -  my brother and I seriously considered a venture in North Dakota.  The challenge is, where to live?   Rent for an efficiency apartment (if you can find one) is $3000 per month.   Even the cheap motels like Motel 6 cost over $100  per night.

Fred Griffin Licensed Real Estate Broker Maybe you should check out central Oklahoma (Moving SW from Norman). Again, the play is supposed to be huge and the small towns are already hurting for homes and rentals.

Than, nothing lost in translation here not knowing what a tool pusher is!  At least the monkey threw him a bone or banana or what ever!
