this is a static flow type mixer, it would be inserted into a bigger 12 in pipe. i dont see any swedged pipe on the floor for an example. the tee slots in the front mount the tooling. this is the type of machine that used to dish and flange the heads for the old steam locomotives

A former Sergeant in the Marine Corps took a new job as a higt school teacher.

Just before the school year started, he injured his back.

He was required to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. Fortunately, the cast fit under his shirt and wasn't noticeable.

On the first day of class, he found himself assigned to the loughest students in the school. The smart punks, having already heard the new teacher was a former Marine, were leery of him and he knew they would be testing his discipline in the classroom.

Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, the new teacher opened the window wide and sat down at his desk. When a strong breeze made his tie flap. he picked up a stapler and stapled the tie to his chest.

Dead silence...

The rest of the year went very smoothly.

A woman meets a handsome, charming guy at a bar.

The chemistry is instant — great conversation, lots of laughter, and sparks flying everywhere.

Before long, they decide to head back to his place.

As he shows her around his apartment, everything seems normal... until they reach the bedroom.

There, she’s greeted by a sight she did not expect: an entire wall packed with teddy bears.

Tiny bears lined up along the bottom shelf.

Medium-sized bears sitting proudly on the middle shelves.

And giant, oversized teddy bears towering from the top shelf, almost like fluffy sentinels guarding the room.

She’s caught off guard — but honestly? It’s kind of endearing.

A tough, handsome guy with such a soft side? Pretty rare.

She decides not to say anything and just rolls with it.

One thing leads to another, the sparks reignite, and the night turns into a passionate whirlwind.

Later, as they lay there catching their breath, the woman smiles, nudges him, and asks playfully,

"So... how was it for you?"

The guy stretches lazily, yawns, and says with a grin:

"Feel free to pick any prize from the bottom shelf."

lol @zaphod I haven’t had to swing on a pole before but that looks like a good reason to try.

I suggest a submarine ride before any pole dancing under a canopy of ice but your call.
Decorum rules so I will refrain from any further pole dancing comments here...
