Wow Yesterday i got Sworf Money

What is Sworf Money you ask why its the money you get from Sworf.

So what is this Sworf then you say why Sworf is the chippings gratings scraps and other useless bits of metal that collect up when one 'Turns' down an object in this case Metal.

Basically at work when we make Something amazing out of Metal(Nut,Bolt,Dead Weight,some amazingly confangled device)all the excess chippings go into sepperate Barrels.

We have Barrels for...
Copper
Aluminium
Stainless steel
Brass
and a scrap scrap barrel
as well as a large Steel container

So after a certain number of months all this is sent away to a Scrap Dealer who gives us money.

Most goes to work expenses but i got a slice which was
$86
Wow!!!
What should i do with this Money?

Does anyone else get Money like this?

Glad you got some extra spending money out of it. Spend it wisely I guess.. or blow it.

Beer. Spend it on beer, all of it. Money spent on beer is never wasted!

If I said donate it to charity you wouldn't do it so a more favorable answer would be.. err... beer?

swarf (swôrf) ( noun )

Fine metallic filings or shavings removed by a cutting tool.

[Of Scandinavian origin; akin to Old Norse svarf.]

We have something similar where I work. Here at the abortion clinic we call it splorf - because of the sound it makes when it hits the floor. You can scrounge up a lot of fetal stem cells and sell them to labs in California. I make about 90 to 100 bucks a week extra just from splorf. It's great.

:confused:

TOO MUCH INFORMATION - OVERHEATING

Come on everybody! share your "additional income from industrial waste-products" anecdote!

Or am I taking this all to literally?

I guess that would be tipping. My friend used to work in a place that allowed that sullied practice. When it would reach a certin point they would all go out to dinner somewhere nice.

I understand tipping is actually required at some places in America (and possibly elsewhere overseas, but we don't get your television). How does this work? Does everyone just throw a twenty cent coin into the bowl next to the cash register?

I'm not saying. If you wish to contribute an anecdote, the only rule is that your waste product must rhyme with "sworf"

My understanding is Americans in the Hospitality industry get paid sweet bugger all and so this incourages them to act nice which makes the customer feel Special(Happy and Doc never get felt)

...Have you changed your sig in the last 4 weeks Gartef?

Do we need to change our sig every 4 weeks? What kind of fascist rule is that????


Actually... I edited it a few days ago by changing the last link to my brilliantly funny "Is Democracy Gay" post. Thanks for noticing!

Don't change it...I've been enjoying your linked posts greatly Gartref.

But back on topic: Though it isn't an industrial bi-product exactly, there's this stuff from our radioactivity physics labs that's often thrown out after the experiment is finished at the end of three weeks. Incidentally, its affectionately called Morph. Enterprising individuals, however, keep the samples and sell them for about 12 bucks a pop to the dropout biochem grad student hangs out on the roof of the comp-sci building. He's engineering mutant turtles with them.

I take pop cans into a metal place, get about 60 bucks after a few months of saving

Cool!! What kind of creature could we create by combining Morph and Splorf??

Cool!! What kind of creature could we create by combining Morph and Splorf??well, maybe something like a
