Author Topic: Things you think of at 3 am at work... Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 02-20-2005 02:47 AM                     How many cows does it take to fill up a milk tanker truck?  |  IP: Logged John Hegel Expert Film Handler Posts: 166 From: Lake Mills, Iowa Registered: Sep 2000 posted 02-20-2005 03:22 AM                        I'll go find a herd of cows and get back to you on that one. It does take about 215,000 cracked and separated chicken eggs to fill a tankers.  |  IP: Logged Edwin Schwing Expert Film Handler Posts: 116 From: Las Vegas NV Registered: May 2002 posted 02-20-2005 06:06 AM                     Richard, Unless you are being audited, why are you at work at 3am?

Depends on what size tank you're talking about. A 48' tanker trailer is around 10,000 gallons, while a small straight truck tank is about 4,500 gallons. If you can find out how many gallons one cow produces over a period of time, you can do some division and have your answer. Some things I think of a 3am: Why don't I just run over that guy up there? Need to find a good place to pull off... That girl in high school came on to me, why didn't I go for it? Damn, I can't stand that song! I wonder what the girl at the fuel desk looks like naked?  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 02-20-2005 12:26 PM                     Well, since I manage a drive in, my last movie doesn't usually drop till almost 2 and then there is the final paperwork to get done. Have you ever gotten to the point where you just laugh at anything and everything that is said?  |  IP: Logged Don Cross Film Handler Posts: 97 From: Charleston, WV, USA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 02-20-2005 03:10 PM                     To answer the production question about cows... I've heard that soe cows are looking to become organized so... Are we now asking about skilled coews or unskilled ones, or... Ones which may be looking to join a union or stay out of the union. Just joking about the union thing there; as I'd be more than willing to be the first person to sign up to become a union member.  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

It will take 1473 cows to fill a tanker with milk. Now if we are talking about liquefying cows... An average cow will weigh 1,300 pounds 1300/8 = 162.5 gallons of cow juice per cow. 10,000/162.5 = 61.538 cows to fill a milk tanker.  |  IP: Logged Don Cross Film Handler Posts: 97 From: Charleston, WV, USA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 02-20-2005 09:56 PM                     If I was stuck working at 0300 hours- something that would be going through my mind: If paid hourly- wheres the shift differential pay? Or, Darn wish I would have taken that job with bankers hours.  |  IP: Logged Jarryd Beard Expert Film Handler Posts: 229 From: Hellertown, PA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 02-21-2005 06:22 PM                     If I were working at 0300 at the theatre, I would probably be asking myself, "Why in the fuck is the safe short $1,500.00??? "  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-21-2005 07:46 PM                     Ahh, those fun little errors. Its always something stupid, but finding it.... And I don't know why but I have this '100' number stuck in my head in relation to a cows milk production per day. Seven gallons eems a bit low but now that I think of it 100 is definately too high. *Shrugs* oh well, too lazy to google it.  |  IP: Logged
