Welcome to Wagewhore.com

We're Equal Opportunity Offenders, We fuck with EVERYBODY!

This site is dedicated to those of us, the Wage Whores who sell our bodies and souls to our collective employers by the hour. Because I have spent my working lifetime in various machine shops this site has a machining/manufacturing orientation, and I invite input from Wage Whores in any field that want to contribute here..

For many years I have been interested [and amused] by the oddities of the English language.. Words like To, Too, and Two that are pronounced the same but have different meanings and usage.. Quite a long time ago I came upon the 'word'

GHOTI


that I think is a great example of how screwed up the language is.. It's pronounced

FISH


GH as in enough
O as in women
TI as in motion

In the process of searching around on this topic I found this site that gives some interesting information and also is creating a world-wide e-mail directory..

You can see more about it and/or contribute to the directory effort HERE or by clicking on the graphic above..

A lot of folks can't understand how we came
to have an oil shortage here in America.

Well, there's a very simple answer...
Nobody bothered to check the oil.
We just didn't know we were getting low.
The reason for that is purely geographical -
Our OIL is located in Alaska,
California, Oklahoma and Texas.

Our DIPSTICKS are located in Washington, DC.


It is truly amazing what some people
will do for money!

Hunger and Greed are very powerful motivators!!


We have obtained at great expense, a test to determine if YOU are a DickHead,

The Designer


I was told once by an ex-wife to go fly a kite and I took her seriously! :-)

Machine People

The following drawings of 'Machine People' are some that I've had in my posession for many years..
I have no idea who the original artist is, but would like to thank him or her for their fine work..
Those of us who work with machinery are aware of the sometimes lifelike qualities of the machines
we operate and these drawings capture that quite well, I believe...

Often in the machine shop trade we are called on to do the near impossible or impractical..
The next two photos are of one such a job..
I had to machine off a flange from an assembled transmission that had
no parallel surface to clamp it to the machine with,
so had to use this kludge of a setup to hang onto it..
I submit these as an entry in the "Kludge Of The Week" award..

I've been fortunate to have worked with some engineers and draftsmen that are also pretty good cartoonists..

Cajon Speedway circa 1962 (I think)

During a part of my mis-spent youth I was a starter for the motorcycle races
at Cajon Speedway, El Cajon, CA.
