Rig Hard Hats
A little oil field humor from Coonass Kim in Corpus:
After a bad blowout three oilfield workers are walking around the rig site; a Toolpusher, a Company man, and a Driller . As they’re walking along the edge of the pad, they see a naked foot sticking out of a bush. When they investigate, they find the nude body of the young female geologist. Her clothing must have been blown off her body by an explosion.
Out of respect and propriety, the Toolpusher immediately takes off his hardhat and places it over her left breast. Quickly following suit, the Driller hand takes off his hardhat and places it over her right breast.
They look at the Company man. After much complaining and grumbling, the Company man places his hardhat over the young woman’s private parts.
The OIM quickly comes over to check the body. He lifts the Toolpusher’s hardhat and then puts it back down and hastily scribbles some notes on his report. Then he lifts the Driller’s hardhat and puts it back down and takes some more notes. Finally he lifts the Company man’s hardhat and sets it back down.
Hesitating, he bends back over, lifts it up and looks again, then sets it down. Still unsure of what to do, he looks a third time underneath the Company man’s hardhat. Annoyed, the Company man asks him ‘what’s wrong with you? Are you some kind of pervert?’
‘Well,’ said the OIM, ‘I am just simply surprised. Normally, when you look under a Company man’s hat… you find an a$$hole.’
