  My friend Steve left a comment on my last posting asking how Perry's soup was doing. nbsp;  Allow me to explain Perry and his soup for you who were fortunate enough to not work for Dusterhoft Oil.
 &
nbsp;
 Perry Dobmeier,  or Dobs if you will,  is a live action version of Mr.  Magoo.
nbsp;
 He's the cutest little dirty old man ever,  and he walks around with a shop rag hanging out of his back pocket,  inviting the shop jesters to try and light it like a fuse.
nbsp;
 Perry's been started on fire more times than he's fallen off the car hoists,  which has been quite a few times.
nbsp;
 If Perry has fallen from up high,  and is on fire,  it is not an uncommon sight.
nbsp;
 This is the repair shop environment at DeMers Interstate Amoco. or at least,  it was when I worked there.
nbsp;
 &
nbsp;
 We used to make soup in the food shop during the winter months,  and Perry was a big fan of the cheesy potato ( probably still is,  but they don't have soup anymore)
nbsp;
 Everyday,  &
nbsp;
Steve would take the laser temperature taker and fire it into Perry's soup to check and see if it was hot enough.
nbsp;
 I'm not sure how hot it was supposed to be,  but it amused Perry,  so that's really all that matters.  &
nbsp;
 The laser temperature thing was a source of amusement for the shop guys.
nbsp;
 Cullen used to shoot the thing at everyone's crotch ( it was just a harmless red dot,  not an actual laser like in Star Trek or something)  and he found out that his crotch was two degrees hotter than everyone else's in the shop.
nbsp;
 It was a proud moment.
