Words you'll never hear from an EOD Tech...

OOPS!
Which one's red? I'm colorblind.
What's a bomb?
Do I HAVE to blow it up?
You mean you're NOT supposed to eat the C-4?
I'd rather be doing paperwork.


In Billy's case... well... you know...

On the opposite side of things, you might hear...

Q: Where's Bob?
A: Over there, over there, and up there...

I love the smell of time fuze in the morning.
That was better than sex!
What? The door's stuck? I CAN FIX IT!
That little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy.

Pick it up... it's safe to carry. Just don't drop it.
I told you not to drop it!

Don't touch that one. That's a no mover.
Hey! What's this thing?
(Spoken gently) Remember that thing I told you not to touch? That's that thing I was talking about. Very carefully and gently, set that back down on the ground the way you're holding it and step away from it.

Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

"I'm a Bomb Disposal Technician, if you see me running try to keep up"

Always liked that

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)
My Life ROCKS!
How's yours doing?

I have one that says that...

Personally, I think it should read...

'If you can see what I'm doing, you're probably too close. If you hear me yell a profanity, you're definately too close."

Hated that movie, as is the common consensus among the other EOD techs I've asked about it.

HOWEVER, we're the individuals who do that job, making us the largest critics of the movie. Also, we're not the target audience for the moviemakers.

All that being said, the inaccuracies do have benefit. They don't give away our tactics and standard procedures.

The wheel fell off the wagon! SHIT, I'm goin' down in the suit. We can't drag a wagon with only 3 wheels. We might damage it.

Or even better... The wheel fell off the wagon! Shit... lets go home. Can't work without a robot wagon. We'll come back for it later.
