You Might Be A Welder If:
You've been fixing a crack in a friends transmission bellhousing overhead, before feeling the wonderful sensation of molten aluminum brush past your genitals.
You've finished a weld on the roll cage you were fitting to a miata, before squirming around like a worm on a fish hook, trying to get the spatter out of your welding leathers.
You've ever been set on fire from grinding sparks, after finishing your welds unscathed.
You look like you changed skin colors after grinding all your welds flush with the base.
You can no longer go to a car show because you tear the welds on the displays apart more than you look at the cars.
You forget that you are on a time limit at the library, and almost miss posting this.

You can still count to 21 but around 19 of them have been burnt or blistered.
