Operating engineer 

Sup. We reshape the world. We run heavy equipment all day everyday. We cut and fill to grade to the hundredth of an inch with scrapers and dozers. Pick things up and set things down with cranes. Build highways and building pads. Put pipelines thru Indian reservations, think we give a fuck... We roll coal son. Caterpillar for life. Some scraper operators enjoy digging holes and swimming in them, along with a great appitite for grade stakes. If you get lost in the woods pound a grade stake in the ground and write C-1.5 and a scraper operator will be there shortly. If u mess with an operator he will dig a hole and put you in it. Known to be a sexual tyrannosaurus the operating engineers will stop at nothing till your fully satisfied or pass out. Most operating engineers are climate sensitive and enjoy the A/C in the summer and heated cabs in the winter. All while laughing at everybody else working outside in the shit. For some of us dirt haulers we are the slower version of Nascar. Just make big circles n chase the guy ahead of us. Topping out around 30mph the operating engineers life is a slow and daunting one.
Guy: Did you know sexual intercourse with an operating engineer will cure covid-19?

Guy2: bout 30 before I passed out, I was trying to keep up with a Wisconsin operating engineer. Lol
