I quit going to church because my plumb bob rattled too much against the pew when I was seated.

A construction surveyors best friend is his eyes.?ÿ His second best friend/ friends are the eyes of an experienced construction crew.

Some of the best E&O insurance you can have.

To err is human to check devine.

All IMHO

@fairbanksls

Check #1 - If it looks wrong, it IS wrong.

Check #2 - Don't forget to check the checks.

What worries me is that which slips through the checks.?ÿ

And despite the best of intentions and practices it DOES happen.

@vasurvey3004

At the end of each field day you walk away knowing it is done right.

While being open to the possibility of an error, onus of proof is on the critic

@holy-cow

In a previous life I was under the impression you dug holes randomly and sporadically for no reason. ?????ÿ

When your wife gets pissed because you give her directions by starting with "Go north on...turn west here and it'll be on the northwest corner of the intersection.

When your wife scowls at you for taking pictures of survey control monuments when you're walking along the Seine on the ??le de la Cit??.?ÿ?ÿ

@james-fleming?ÿ I've literally told my wife not to step on a mag nail and shiner in a sidewalk joint before.?ÿ That definitely got me a WTF? face.

That sounds better than wandering around in a musty old building looking at 300 year old paintings worth a zillion dollars. ?????ÿ

The washing machine seems to occasionally spit out a mag nail.?ÿ It still runs ok, even after losing all of those parts over the years, just keeps spitting them out.?ÿ Then again, at least once a year it gets really upset and spits out this big pink ball of ribbon.?ÿ I don't understand why it does not like me.

I tell people I solve 3D jig saw puzzles with most of the pieces missing, then shrink the pictures down to fit on sheets of paper for other people to doodle on and then turn around and put it back on the ground with highest degree of precision. I wear an orange vest because my cape just gets too many longing stares from married women and stink eye from husbands. I can put someone into a deep trance in seconds by simply explaining the math behind it to them. My superpowers are many and varied.

If a sniper and a crime scene investigator had a child, it'd be me.
