My brother is a welder for a natural gas company and plagued his co-workers with his “plumbers butt” for months. One of them found a cure for this though.
He told me that they were working several hours from home and just before leaving for the day, he had to climb into the trench to make one last small weld. He finished the weld and got in his truck and began the long drive home. He said that after about 30 minutes, his butt began to hurt a little. And the longer he drove, the more it hurt. Every little bump he ran over or any movement he made the feeling got worse.
He said that when he got home and got out of his truck, he couldn’t stand up straight and could hardly walk.
When he finally got in the house, he called for his wife and pulled his pants down so she could see what was wrong.
Turns out, while he was finishing his last weld, one of his co-workers dropped a piece of gum down his pants. And during the three hour drive home, the gum dried to the hairs of his butt and his wife had to shave it out with a straight razor!
He now wears a belt and suspenders!
God Bless, Dave
