10 stamping industry bumper stickers

Expressions only metal stampers can say with a straight face

Stampers perform best under pressure

"Stampers perform best under pressure" printed on Auto Metal Craft's T-shirts for employees.

So here are 10 expressions only a stamper can say with a straight face. Let the groans begin:

1. Stampers don’t forget; they just draw a blank.

2. Stamping manufacturers know how to make a great impression.

3. Feed a coil, starve a jam.

4. Stampers perform best under pressure.

5. Stampers know how to bolster an effort.

6. When stampers encounter a challenge, they just press on.

7. Stampers know how to take a punch.

8. Stampers have high-level clearance.

9. Forming follows function.

10. Old stampers don’t die, they just draw to a close.

And here is my attempt at riddles:

• What does a stamping operator say about a defective part? Oh, scrap!

• What do you call a stamper’s teenage years? The formative stage.

• Why does the stamper’s baseball team always win? Because they can get two out at a time.

• What do stampers call nonchalant? Reverse shock.

• What is the stamping manufacturers’ theme song? Good Vibrations.
