if I have one frustration or complaint it's the
company's safety office. They're trying to make every job idiot proof,
they
just don't understand that they just build better idiots. Darwin's law
never gets a chance to cull the utterly stupid. Okay rant off. Where as
years ago you could climb on panels and machinery or walk the ceiling
beams
today that a thing of the past, if they catch you it's a week off with the
unions blessing. This is the same mentality that dictates you can't have
monkey bars at play grounds any more.

Speaking of monkey bars...there's a George Carlin routine I have here on
disk ("**** the Children") which, among other things, talks about the
obsession with safety. Funny as hell. It's just under 7mb in size, if anyone
wants a copy. Or, find it online.
