I worked in the West Texas oil fields a few (well quite a few) years ago and
one of my coworkers was from Shamrock, TX.
One day I walked into the shop while he was packing tools and parts to send
back to the warehouse. I noticed he had scrawled the word FRIGGLE on one of
the packages in large letters with a black marker.
I looked at it kind of quizically and said "frig-gul?"
He said "No! fry-jul!"
