Lives of the Elders – UC#3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Esteemed Elders<\/strong> – I know I have been light on WLLBOT contributions lately with all my travel and jet lag. But I offer you this blast from the past – one of my golf buddies was a IBM JCL and Panvalet nerd. He still uses a flip phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esteemed Elders<\/strong> – I flew for many years on helicopters for work. In the 70\u2019s, they were piloted by sometimes sober<\/em> Vietnam vets who would buzz alligators and deer in the Louisiana swamps as we headed offshore. Safety standards improved over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We commonly would discuss the Jesus Nut<\/strong> after we arrived safely to our location on an offshore rig.<\/p>\nUC#3<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
And now for the nerdiest limerick ever written:<\/em><\/strong>\n\nThere once was an engineer named Clive\nGenerating JCL and Panvalet made him feel alive\nHe once had to fly in a helicopter to Connecticut  \nBut he was extremely concerned about the Jesus Nut\nSo he analyzed his safety risk using Fortran V\n\nMic drop.<\/em>\n\n- UC#3<\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Jesus nut<\/strong> is a slang term for the main rotor retaining nut or mast nut<\/strong>, which holds the main rotor to the mast of some helicopters. The related slang term Jesus pin refers to the lock pin used to secure the retaining nut. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
More generally, Jesus nut (or Jesus pin) has been used to refer to any component that is a single point of failure which results in catastrophic consequences, and the only thing left to do is, metaphorically speaking, pray to Jesus, hence the name. – Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
