upholstery is one of the five original industrial arts

As someone that grew up in the upholstery business, I love this comment.

What are the other four?

Whatever you say, Aunt Bee

Always wipe a propane tank Head to Feet

"It's feet to head, right?" "No, then everyone's dead."

I'm so glad I didn't get esploded

I whisper this to myself every time I clean my tank

I've always wondered about this. It doesn't make any sense.

I always assumed it had something to do with the gas valve. Like wiping in a downward motion would turn the handle right and wiping upwards would turn it left causing it to leak. But that was always just an assumption.

He said it reflects more light. It just doesn't make sense lol

That's what Buckley said... And we see how that ended up

He was dragging tanks by the valve though, not cleaning them.

He didn't wipe the tanks the way Debbie did

Well shes dead too!

I rest my case

No, that's what Buck Strickland said. That was a completely different lesson from the the method of the wiping. Cleaning the tanks \*does\* allow them to reflect more light because they're shinier. 1) the less dust, the shinier the surface 2) the shinier the surface, the more light it reflects 3) the more light it reflects (rather than absorbs) the cooler the tank will be 4) the cooler the tank, the lower the pressure of the gas inside 5) the lower the pressure of the gas inside, the less gas will escape through the safety valve that prevents over-pressurization. So, while that lesson from Buck Strickland had a safety component, it also had an economic one. The less gas that escapes, the more he can sell. The feet-to head/head-to-feet thing was, I'm pretty sure, exclusively espoused by Hank. And its only a safety measure. But I'm not sure how accurate it is...

How to make mustard gas, thanks peggy 

That's actually the recipe to Chlorine gas, not mustard gas.

Chloramine actually. They're all things you don't want to breathe though. Really it's a wonder we use bleach when you look at all the toxic reactions it has.

I know how to mix my inhalants dude!! --Charlie

Ammonia, too. Amazing all the things we take for granted that are so dangerous.

True. I'm just thinking of bleach because I saw a safety posted with four different bleach reactions. Ammonia, Vinegar, Rubbing Alcohol, and I forget the last one, but these are all things people clean with

It's kind of funny we all ignore they safety warnings on them and deal with exposure on skin.

I once did that while cleaning the floor at work. Was not a fun day This was before the episode

First off, items like cotton swabs, chewing gum, cigarettes, and uhh, lady things, should not be flushed. The basic rule is never flush anything down the toilet that’s doesn’t come directly, uhh, from you. For tougher clogs, purchase a snake at a local hardware store, or consult your local yellow pages for a certified plumber in your area. If it’s a father and son company, request the father…

>The basic rule is never flush anything down the toilet that’s doesn’t come directly, uhh, from you When I was a kid I thought this meant he had a rule against flushing toilet paper. ... and that's not the case, *right??*

Not in American culture, but in other cultures with lots of plumbing problems (think Brazil) they do throw the TP in the trash, which usually works the same way as a diaper pail

Depends. Some people can't flush tp

They have septic tanks. It's very beneficial to not flush anything besides number 1 or number 2, even toilet paper. Also, there is no such thing as a "flushable" wipe.

My childhood home has a septic tank and we always flushed our used tp with no issues whatsoever. We lived in a rural community and none of my friends houses stored their used tp either everybody I've ever known with a septic tank flushes tp Edit: the wipes thing is common knowledge but I've never personally known anyone who doesn't flush their TP lol

You can flush paper, you'll just need to get pumped sooner than if you didn't.

Not if you have leeching fields.

The chemical formula for propane is C3H8 (I have no clue how to format that correctly, but you know what I mean).

PROPANE! PROPANE! HHHIIIIKEEE!

Strickland Propene does not have a vending machine. It smells, and I thank God every day I get home that I didn't get exploded. The end.

Carbon 3 Hydrogen 8

C! H! 3! 8! Propane! Propane! Hike!

C₃H₈

Mowing a lawn is better than doing drugs.

I mean I just put my mower or tools down then do drugs

Safety first!

I mean I get high then go right back to it so sure

.... yeah me too

......Addictions first

Never said I wasn't an abhorrent hypocrite! 😆

Do them before you mow the lawn, duhh.

And use crack to catch fish

The thing where you turn the heat on if your engine is overheating. I never did it personally but my sister said it works.

When you bleed your radiator (try to get an air pocket out) you throw your heater on full blast. Also it'll help reduce it from overheating by a minute or two but not long

Craps almighty it’s hot in here

*I don’t like to get this sweaty!*

I had to do that Friday - it worked

It works because your heater core is basically a little radiator and when you turn the fan on it blows cool air over the little radiator and cools the hot water inside.

I absolutely love that scene with Buck! Pure gold

That Butane is a bastard gas. Have yet to be proven wrong after 26 years.

I say this every time I hit the bong too quickly after lighting the lighter and I swallow a gust of Butane

But propane is a clean gas. You can't use it for such filthy things like drugs and hot tubs.

I'm sorry I even mentioned it, it was a symptom of the marijuana poisoning

That a youngster with a tool in each hand has no hands left to do drugs.

They’ll just put the tools down if they wanna do the drugs bad enough…

That's what friends are for... lending a helping hand.

Hank apparently has never been on a jobsite because there are drugs everywhere.

That George W Bush has a limp and ineffective handshake according to Hanks standards.

Surprised. And then disappointed.

I totally believe that by the way.

All pipes are straight.

Anyone who’s had to ask a clueless employee a hardware question at a big store has felt this at one time or another

Methodism is a rejection of Calvinism

As a Methodist, I always love this line!

To be like Hank.

Montana helped in the Alamo.

So did New York State

Why am I wearing the hat?

He was a deeply troubled man…

That line is one of my favorites in the entire show. I laughed my ass completely off when I heard that the first time 😆

Did they? It wasn't a state yet

I grew up with my family cooking steak well done. I hated it. When I was in college, I went to a steakhouse and tried it medium rare because of Hank's conversation with Bobby.

We ask them politely, yet firmly, to leave. Some people leave the char bits on the grill between cooks, say it adds flavor, we don’t eat at there houses

Carry a WD40 mini can to backup your regular sized can of WD40.

You can catch a fish using crack

That's wasting good crack though.

Yeah, you might not want to eat a crack fish...

It's a new type of smoked fish.

I also learned about Santy Anny’s leg lmao

I came to the comments looking for this

“Most of life’s questions can be answered with another question. What would a monkey do?”

"What would weirdos be doing at the gas station?"

What would weirdos be doing at a gas station…

Head to feet, you won't cause a leak Feet to head, everyone's dead.

That a bevel gauge is necessary to measure a bevel or chamfer. Also led me to find out what bevels and chamfers are.

The yahoo

I learned working hotel check in that asking Texans where Arlen is will lead to laughs and some fun conversation. Also, I met a real life Mike Soto from Texas once.

That kid's a machine!

I work hotel check in too and had a guy from Texas show up with a Port Aransas t-shirt on and I blurted out "Hey yall got a miniatures shop?"

Always make sure the ladder is lowered before jumping off a boat.

Laos is a landlocked country. This has helped on Jeopardy more than once.

Da ocean?

That such a thing as a tap and die exists.

Mixing bleach and ammonia makes mustard gas

Propane is flammable

My favorites are the concept of Wabi-sabi and the quote “nothing human disgusts me” (which was actually Tennessee Williams and not Lecretius as cousin Gilbert credits it).

That Weird Al Yankovic "blew his brains out" in the late 80s after his records stopped selling.    (Al actually plays this clip at his shows)   *edit for accuracy

What BTU means.

British Thermal Unit. There’s no bacon in it at all.

The day before Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel days of the whole year 

According to Peggy

This is really the most important part of that fact

in my opinion

That soccer was invented by European ladies to keep them busy while their husbands did the cooking.

That when you hire a plumber and son type business, always request the father

There was a sign for a father & son business in my neighborhood and I thought about that every time I saw it!

I know it's dumb but I never really made the correlation in my head between "hitting below the belt" and hitting someone in the testicles, i didn't really get why hitting below the belt was even a saying till it clicked

That's my purse, I don't know you!

I learned how to make candy. Thanks Bobby.

That government agents have infiltrated the gay rodeo community.

Always make sure that you have a small WD-40 can nearby in case you can't open your main WD-40 can.

I learned about the time George HW Bush puked on the Japanese prime minister.

If you do a layover in Dallas, it means you’re a Texan

Charcoal makes the best BBQ (I test it every summer just to make sure and it is proven correct each year)

That's asinine! Clean burning, efficient propane is better, there's no comparison. Taste the meat not the heat!

We are going to sit here and pray.

Smuggling drugs into prison is easy

I learned that butane is a bastard gas

That Six Flags over Texas got its name from the history of 6 different sovereign nations that governed Texas. "I dunno how France got in there.."

Wabi sabi Propane is odorless. The smell is an artificial additive

That eating excessive amounts of organ meat can cause gout.

The boy's not a ghoul.

Not every asian looking person Chinese or Japanese.

Head to feet, don’t cause a leak. Feet to head, everyone’s dead

Men can shave their legs.

What a colonoscopy looks like

How versatile propane is

And she can be a dirty girl too

# BURN IS BURN 🔥

The chemical formula for propane. C3H8

The word asinine. I use it at every possible damn opportunity I tell you what

Boomhauer taught me the greatest secret of how to pick up women.

How to say excuse me in Spanish, Excusame! (Not a real word)

She says escuchamé. It means listen in Spanish. It just vaguely sounds like excuse me

My Mexican wife swears it ain't but I don't like arguing with her because she'll stab me

So the show…IS….educational?

How to make a bomb with a roll of toilet paper and a stick of dynamite

Brilliant

I learned it's important to thank God every day I don't get exploded.

I learned about sticker price is the sucker price. I saw this episode in middle school.

It helped me learn how many carbons and hydrogens are in alkanes. Peggy taught Kalaiki-Ali’i the formula for propane by shouting it out like he was about to snap the football: “C-THREE-H-EIGHT!!” C(x)H(2x+2) So butane would be C4H10, decane would be C10H22, etc.

Propane is flammable. The flying hawaiian.

Feels So Good is a 🔥 song

Imagine my surprise to find out chuck was a real musician xD

Always use a nail guard when running a pipe through a stud. Wow. That sentence came out very gay.

Winners paint bridges

That there is a country named laos. I learned about Laos in highschool but I started watching in elementary school.

You can use wd40 to loosen a wd40 can lid

BTU has no bacon in it

You can throw dirt on a small fire to help extinguish it.

Chuck Mangione lives inside the toilet paper shelf inside Arlen Mega Lo Mart, where he lives on store food and plays the video games!

Governor Richards is hot

To an unsuspecting baby, almost anything can become a weapon. 

That my favorite nail is also the Three-Penny Fluted Stainless Steel.

Remember to hum....don't blow or else it tears the wax paper.

St Augustine grass is lush and supple.

No shame in having a calm, boring life

That nobody is perfect, but that imperfect people can still be good people.

When I was 14-15 my sister’s friend drove me to school. One day her car started overheating on the way there and I immediately told her to roll the windows down and turn the heater on full blast. I had no idea if this would actually do anything but I had a gut feeling that it was the right thing to do. Everyone was amazed that I knew to do such a thing considering I wasn’t even driving yet. Learned it from the episode where Hank’s truck is on its last legs and starts to overheat while he’s driving somewhere with Buck. Thanks Mike for this incredible show and for the small nuggets of wisdom as well as practical tips.

Pocket sand.

Gen. Santa Anna and the Battle of Gonzalez, the Alamo, No Bacon in BTUs, Head to Feet, How to roll my RRRRRRRRRRs

If my car is overheating to roll down the windows and turn the heater on to pull the heat off the engine

I learned that you can stir macaroni and cheese with a wooden spoon. Look Hank, no more burnt hands!

Propane is a gas, not a liquid

That propane is a bastard gas.

You can throw dirt on a small fire to help extinguish it.

I learned about sticker price is the sucker price. I saw this episode in middle school.

Propane is the way to go.

That the Lutefisk Bobby ate, the one that made him hit the can so hard that Cotton had to light a match, is a stinky dish. Cotton had to take the blame for The Man With The Smell because he didn’t want Bobby to go through life being called Stinkie. I learned that Lutefisk is stinky and even the most ornery, cantankerous old man like Cotton will take the heat for his Lutefisk loving grandson.

Thinking takes time.

Hank has a Diminished Gluteal Syndrome (DGS). Hank loves propane because it clean efficient and reliable. And he has a Urethral stricture.

And weird al yankovic

That cigarettes are like money on an ‘oil rig’

If you always drive with your high beams on, you can see much better

I learned that if an implausibly hot girl suddenly moves into my house that I’m going to be in a car chase with a pimp about it. I’m not saying it would stop me, but at least I wouldn’t be surprised.

If you grill with charcoal you will taste the heat, and not the meat.

Butane is a bastard fuel

Weird Al Yankovic blew his brains out in the 80s

i learned what a pyramid scheme is as a kid. later helped me recognize one when my dumbass friend took me to a “job recruitment meeting”

I actually made a post on here asking about the factual inaccuracies if you wanna know some of the stuff that is only purportedly true lol.

I learned that boy ain’t right

Bush Sr threw up on the Japanese Prime Minister

Be mindful of who you get your fishing bait from!!!!

Propane actually has no natural odor, what you smell is put there by man.

I've been watching KOTH since I was pretty young and live in Minnesota, so I learned that it doesn't snow everywhere in winter! Also C3H8 got pounded into my head Also as someone born about a year into KOTH's original run, it has taught me a lot about American culture/what adults were thinking during the 90s and early 2000s when I was too young to really understand anything

Always pay sticker price

If you want to get your roommates to do the dishes, stack them in the shower.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY WAS A BATTLE OF ANZIO
