Having sold powered woodworking machinery for years I had seen many injuries and you could start to see how many had happen but this one was unclear because the fingers around three and four remained. He went on to explain how he lost his fingers on the right hand making an unusual cut on the saw. Both hands were bandaged and the left hand was clearly more recently wrapped. I asked how he did the left hand and he went on to tell me how he had a few friends over a couple of days later and was explaining how the original accident happened and, well you can guess the rest of the story.
    In high school, my shop teacher told us about someone that had cut their thumb down the middle pushing a piece of wood through a band saw. When he asked about what happened, the student showed the shop teacher how he did it and the dumb SOB DID IT AGAIN!

    I truly wish that I had thought of that at the time. I just said "They're dogs, that's what dogs do."
    I don't make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.

    Jerry Clower had a joke like that but with two burnt ears and an ironing board close to the phone. Yup, wouldn't you know it the dang phone rang again?

    A litigious population has probably done more. Now we live in the nanny state. Circuit breakers on hair dryers, for example.

    The gene pool could use a bit more chlorine.

    We promoted a woman to full time manager. Fairly large pay increase, way better job, 4 tens schedule, etc.

    She accepts the position, then immediately starts complaining about working Sundays because she always has Bronco parties, going to the GM about it, etc. - before she even starts in the position!

    GM tells me to handle it. I told her straight up: This is the job and the schedule. Do you want it or should we offer it to someone else? She took it, bit I see drama in my future.

    Fucking entitled people.....
