Yeah. Since I put away the timing light and dwell meter I don't get my hands near a running engine. Checking trans fluid and sometimes touching around with a steth probe is about it. Even then I check my sleeves first. I haven't seen a sleeve do it, but I did see a rag get snatched out of a guys hand on a high speed lathe, come back around and debrided the back of his hand. The guys who worked on check sorters used to say "if you get your tie caught in there they will have a hard time getting your socks out" Even the laser printers that were slow by comparison still moved paper at 32 inches a second. The check sorters were more like 250 inches a second. At a bulk mail center in New Jersey, the managers decided a sorting machine was not running fast enough, so they removed some safety devices. A worker was drawn into the machine and crushed. At another bulk center, management was proudly demonstrating new safety devices on driverless robot carts. The carts had sensitive bumpers that would "stop the cart immediately" upon impact, and, if that failed, there was an overhead safety rope that if yanked, would stop the cart. Yup. The manager demonstrating the robocart to the media got in front of it and let it hit him. It did not stop. It knocked him to the concrete floor and then ran over him. Lying there on the floor, he couldn't reach the overhead cable. Don't you just love it when something like that happens to a kiss-ass mid-manager. Especially when the local TV stations are there to witness and videotape it and show it on the evening news. I don't know if postal management is as despotic these days as it used to be, but, literally, tens of thousands of grievances used to be filed each year against the mid and lower upper managers for contract violations, safety violations, and waqe-hour violations. More WAFA bull****. Is the the buttsniffer Dan? "the the"? Is this Dumb Don? Back to the old buttsniffing, eh Dildo Dan? Hard day at work hauling turds? Do you have a dumb teenager who wrote that for you? No, your Dad came over to visit and yanked the keyboard away from me. He misses you (but not the smell) and wishes you all the best hauling those stanky turds. He said he's embarassed that you're a buttsniffer but blamed it on your mother. |
