Yep, you're right Jack, "t"s just cost wayyyyy more than "k"s! They'd
always been Zerks to me until I worked around a guy on the farm that always called them zirt's, in fact come to think of it, he actually called them "certs". It got to be an inside joke, he never new what we were laughing at or why we made fun of his grease certs. I guess he beat into my brain... incorrectly I might add! Funny how I picked that up. Grease fittings... how 'bout them there things?  Cya Wednesday, hey, remember to fly lower than Jim.... I don't want to hear that your airplanes tried to mate or anything! Jim Burns

Where I come from Zerks are called Grease Nipples, no one there would know
what a Zerk was. Probably would think you said Jerk ! They wouldn't understand wrench, hood, trunk, faucet and a load of other words either :-) Roy "ORVAL FAIRAIRN" wrote in message news  In article , "Jim Burns" wrote: Yep, you're right Jack, "t"s just cost wayyyyy more than "k"s!
