OK - Results time.....
Honourable Mentions to:
Traffic_Is_Er_Was for "Sailor: Ok, I've got it all rolled out and nice and straight, now what do I do?
Petty Officer: Roll it up again! "
and WeeJeem for "Hey, Jonesie!
Jonesie! Hang on a tick! The guy here says that the 'E' in this new EALS system we're fitting is 'E-for-electromagnetic', not 'E-for-elastic'. "
"Gawdammit! You'll be telling me next that we have to take the horses out of the bridle catchers."
The BT and Tesla references all raised a chuckle, but the winner on sheer groan-inducement, is Wensleydale for
"I'm suffering from Hermes".
"Don't you mean Herpes?"
"No - I think I'm a carrier".
