Yeah, I have. Pitiful, isn’t it? Back in the day, a Toolpusher (for the uninitiated, that is the ranking representative of the rig owner on a drilling rig), would stand down a crew and demand a new Company Man (the Oil Company head man) with half a brain be sent out if he thought things were getting out of hand.

I remember one glorious incident where we conspired to slip some phenolphthaline (commonly used by the Mud Engineer) into the Company Man’s coffee because he was running off hands to show how big his dick was.

This resulted in continuous, explosive diarrhea. They took him back to the World in a survival suit to keep him from making the helicopter unusable. The new guy, as one can imagine, was *much* more willing to listen.

ROFL. I love that story.
