Once apon a time, I had to go through a couple of shipping containers of stuff a sailor had nicked from the navy, in one of the containers there was over half a million different sized cable ties. I asked the offender what he thought he was going to need them all for? He tells me there is a million uses for them, I laughed and said well you need another half million ties then dont you.

Its the puny front office workers who bleat about the scratches on their slender lilly white hands who complain....and about the little flecks of gyprock you leave on their desk, and their pens going missing over night, and the work van parked in their favorite parking spot, the chocolate bars missing from the front counter and the curly coarse black hairs in their coffee cup...

That reminds me.......

Several years ago I crushed a finger with a 4lb copper hammer at work. :oops:
At the "inquest" I said that it's the nature of the beast when using hammers and that it was just unfortunate that this time I'd done a real good job of it.....

The safety guy just couldn't grasp this concept until........

......I ran into him about 6 months later and he said he'd been thinking about what I'd said that day. He was just back from a few weeks off work coz he'd belted his shin with a hammer at home!! :lol:

I do find it amusing that some pencil pusher insists on reading and approving a JSA or writing it for you.....most have two left thumbs and are right handed.......
