I love watching "Dirty Jobs", it is a great show, and highlights the hard
working blue collar workers who are so important to our society.

Sure, Reggie. I'm sure you did not mean to be offensive. Right.



Reggie and JohnH tried some spins while doing damage control. Folks know
better as the initial statement said it all about his elitist views.

John Herring (JohnH) immediately endorsed that statement by posting this:
" If you took Reggie's comment as an insult to your son, you must think blue
collar work is some real ****. Shame on you."

FYI: My son is serving our Country as PFC with the USMC and is Construction
Heavy Equipment Operator

You decide.



I think you must have a very low opinion of your son if what I said got
you so upset. Did you read what Harry said about my son, something
about STD's and open sores. It didn't bother me at all, if you are
proud of your son, why in the world would you care what I or anyone else
says. There are many blue collar workers who are proud of what they do,
they are not ashamed. Just as their are many social workers who are
proud of what they do, and would probably feel terrible if they knew
their husbands were so ashamed of their profession they had to make up a
Dr. Dr. story.

I am glad you son decided to move dirt for the marines, he looked at his
options, decided what he really wanted to do, and hopefully made the
right decision. Hopefully he is having a great time. He is stationed
in a nice peaceful overseas base, life is good. At least he doesn't
have to watch his father have an emotional meltdown.
