    Funny Tales About Safe Working Procedures and Protocols
    1. A bus carrying five passengers was hit by a car in Boston, Massachusetts, but by the time police arrived on the scene, fourteen pedestrians had boarded the bus and had begun to complain of whiplash injuries and back pain.



    2. Safety is a major concern at the manufacturing company where I work. So I'm constantly preaching caution to the workers I supervise. 'Does anyone know,' I asked a few guys, 'what the speed limit is in our parking lot?'

    The long silence that followed was interrupted when one of them piped up. 'That depends. Do you mean coming to work or leaving?'




    3. Safety Managers: persons who write a 10,000 word document and call it a brief - Franz Kafka



    4. What do you get if you put 100 Safety Managers in your basement? - A whine cellar



    5. Two workmen were digging foundations when one of them started shouting and jumping about . The other one thought his partner had hit an underground power cable and was being electrocuted so following good health and safety practice used a shovel to separate him from the electricity.

    Luckily for the first worker he wasn't getting an electric shock but was panicking after a wasp had flown up his trousers. Luckily he didn't get stung but the second worker hit him so hard with the shovel that his shoulder was dislocated.



    6. A police 'safety officer' was visiting a primary school in a particularly rough area of Manchester, England.

    'Why shouldn't you touch the oven door or the kettle?' he asked the assembled class.

    A young girls hand shot into the air. 'Because you might leave fingerprints,' she answered.



    7. A crowd gathered around at a woodworking trade show held at Fort Purbrook, Portsmouth and were watching a sales demonstration.

    The demonstrator had an ordinary saw next to another which had a saw stopping safety device. He showed how each might work when it hit an operator's finger.

    For simulation purposes he used a sausage as a substitute. Intrigued, a curious spectator stepped up for a closer look and was struck in the eye by a flying piece of debris.

    With his request approved, the CNN News cameraman quickly used his cell phone to call the local airport to charter a flight. He was told a twin-engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport.

    Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger. He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, "Let's go"! The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and took off.

    Once in the air, the cameraman instructed the pilot, "Fly over the valley and make low passes so I can get shots of the fires on the hillsides".

    "Why" asked the pilot?

    "Because I'm a cameraman for CNN", he responded, "and I need to get some close up shots".

    The pilot was strangely silent for a moment, finally he stammered, "So, what you're telling me, is ... you're NOT my flight instructor"?!

    The farmer and his wife had worked hard, scrimped and saved to send their son to college.

    As soon as he had enrolled, he started to grow a beard.

    Next he grew a large moustache and sideburns.

    Being pleased with his new facial adornment, he had his picture taken and sent it off to his parents.

    On the back of the photo he scrawled "How do you like it? Don't I look like a count?"

    Shortly after, the son received this terse note: "You idiot, it cost us a fortune to send you to college, and you can't even spell!"

    Two guys sat down for lunch in the office cafeteria. "Hey, whatever happened to Pete in payroll?" one asked.

    "He got this harebrained notion he was going to build a new kind of car." his co-worker replied.

    "How was he going to do it?"

    "He took an engine from a Pontiac, tires from a Chevy, seats from a Lincoln, hubcaps from a Caddy and, well, you get the idea."

    "So what did he end up with?"

    "Ten years in prison."

    “Crime in multi-storey car parks. That is wrong on so many different levels.”

    “I have downloaded this new app. Its great, it tells you what to wear, what to eat and if you’ve put on weight. Its called the Daily Mail.”

    “My grandad has a chair in his shower which makes him feel old, so in order to feel young he sits on it backwards like a cool teacher giving an assembly about drugs.”

    “My husband’s penis is like a semi colon. I can’t remember what it’s for and I never use it anyway.”

    “I was raised as an only child, which really annoyed my sister.

    “I bought myself some glasses. My observational comedy improved.”

      MAE ALL...

      Mick...we're glad to have you back and thanks for kicking off this weeks thread. At least you didn't succumb to the cold on the flight out, I always want to be home if I'm not feeling well. I think I remember you telling us those cases would probably hit the bin upon return and you were right. I had to restock on my seeds this year too. We have what is called Seedy Saturday here in the city. You swap or by hybrid seeds and since you know they grew here last year they'll grow again this year. Looking forward to getting the garden going.

      Pauly...what no mention of allergies?? Does this mean you've concurred it or gave up on bitching about it. LOL Hope you have a great day.

      Reading all of TG's posts has got me de-cluttering this weekend. Killing time indoor cleaning till I can get out in the garden. Have a Super Sober Sunday all....:smile:PPQP

                Ahoy ABerooooskies!

                getting hot in Vegas.... I'll be melting soon. Crazy week here but good overall despite that.

                PPQ, a hybrid seed swap sounds very cool to me!

                been contacted by a company and will be seeing them tomorrow about an offer for position there so
                that should be interesting.

                Was visiting my grandma this morning, she's moved here into my uncles place which is pretty neat.

                Had a lovely coffee date with a lady yesterday morn and things are looking pretty good. She's got 16 years
                in sobriety which is very cool.

                Sam, shingles? oh man... that's no damn fun. sorry to hear that.

                so I'm off to the gym, then a Refuge meet and maybe Thai food.

                shouts to all and all to come!

                be well loves

                  Re: 7th April

                  Good evening Abbers,

                  Det, I would give anything right now to have an afternoon with a grandma or my own Mom, I’m jealous.
                  The new ladies just keep showing up in your life, lucky dog, ha ha. Is that another job offer you’re talking about? Wow!

                  Mick, sorry you shared germs with another passenger, yuck. Pretty typical though.
                  I was looking ahead at our weather forecast & don’t see any more freezing nights so I think I’ll start planting some seeds myself.

                  Pauly, just learning to live with the allergies takes a whole lot of pressure off, no kidding.
                  My grandson was here yo puck up his birthday present but I hear that he got himself suspended from school on Friday. I don’t know what they are planning to do with this kid. I know what I would do if it was up to me!

                  Just to add to my grief list, YB got a call from the dermatology doc on Friday. His biopsies came back positive for melanoma, not good. He’s scheduled for surgery the end of the month. Ho hum

                  PQ, you live in a friendly town, don’t you? I wish people were more like that around here. Everyone seems to keep to themselves around here. No wonder it gets lonely here, Lol. Enjoy the seed swap, sounds like fun.

                  Hello to Cyn, Pie, Sam & SK. Hope everyone is OK.
                  Have a nice night.

                    right on that note Ill go and get ready to let someone stick needles in me ...stretch and bend me and knock sh.t out of me ...oh and I will pay them for it .....strange world ..

                    This begging in the 21st century is getting ridiculous.
                    A kid came up to me today with an electric cigarette and asked,
                    "Got a spare battery mate."

                    I was trying to teach my 9 year old nephew sarcasm and he simply wasn't getting it .

                    Later that day we were in the car and his sister said "we saw a green car today" I replied "jess that's really not very interesting, if you had seen a green car being driven by an elephant, that would have been interesting" she laughed then looked out of the window and said "is that a plane up there in the sky?"
                    Her brother Sighed and said " No it's a dck with wings".

                    We have two rottweilers, a mastiff and a pitbull terrier.

                    On the one hand, we’ve never been burgled.

                    On the other, we haven’t seen the kids for ages.

                    Our son knocked himself out on a mini trampoline I bought him for his birthday.
                    The wife said it was my stupid fault, placing it in our low-ceiling bungalow.

                    She says with that incident plus my continuing awful puns, she's considering leaving me...

                    I told her, "Lets not jump to any hasty concussions."

                    Apart from cocaine,has anyone else figured out what those little pockets are for in jeans?

                    Just got back from watching the giraffe grand national in South Africa.

                    The favourite won by a neck.

                    It was the biggest margin of victory in the last 14 years.

                    I got into a spat with this drunk guy as we were both waiting for the toilets.

                    He finally shoved me and said, "You wanna step outside."

                    "You first, be my guest !" I said confidently, opening the door for him.

                    He then took one step and instantly plummeted to his death 30,000 ft.

                    What do you call a dinosaur with piles?

                    An itchysaurus

                    People who say 'Talking about climate change is the tip of the iceberg'
                    Arent they missing the point?

                    There are two words that have opened many doors for me in life.

                        Re: 7th April

                        MAE ALL...

                        Det...I'm glad your week was good overall. So how did the meet with the new company go? Another coffee date...it must be comforting to meet with someone with such long sobriety.

                        Lav...yes, it's a fairly friendly city here and kibitzing with 3 year olds to 83 year olds all day at work makes me feel really connected to my community. I found living out on the ranch to be very lonely as well, problem drinking is very high in the rural areas. Any headway with the grandson? Hope they can figure things out soon.

                        Mick...of course your's is the sorest and you got it first so you've been suffering with it longer. All good here and work is back to the way it was. Maybe we just needed to clear the air with each other. Hope your snow is just mixed precipitation and nothing sticks.

                        Pauly...I have never made stuffed peppers as I didn't think the kids would eat them. Now that they're young adults it's time to upgrade my menus. I think we're having steamed rice & vegetables for supper. May throw in a chicken breast.

                        Sam...how's it going? Did it turn out to be shingles? Hope you're not suffering too much.

                        Shout out to the rest of the gang, hope all is well. Have a restful evening all...:smile:PPQP

                            Good evening all,

                            I'm doing what I do best ~ staying busy & distracted from all the sh*t that I can't change.
                            Honestly sometimes life throws you a lot all at once, geez. I will NOT go down the depression hole ever again. It almost killed me that last time & I won't ;et that happen again.
                            YB got a call from his doc today & she's set him up to see a surgeon on Monday. There's nothing to do in the meantime except stay positive which I am & of course he's not.
                            I know my grandson's suspension was at least for today. My son is away at work so I guess his mother had to go handle things at his school. I haven't heard from her & I'm not going to beg.
                            OTHER THAN THAT everything is just fine. I am finishing up some projects for Saturday's craft fair, keeps my mind & hands busy.

                            Hi to Det & Pauly in hot Vegas

                            Hi Mick, keep the coffee pot on, please! Hope you guys feel better soon.

                            PQ, you really do have a diverse crowd there, that's cool
                            You know we moved out here almost 16 years ago because we were so burned out with having people in our faces day in & day out. Our professions really burned us both out. Took quite a while to adjust & I still like it here but sometimes it's too damn quiet. I was grateful to have found Curves & had that going for 7 years.
                            Oh well.

                            Hello to Cyn, Pie & SK. Sam, how are you buddy??

                            Have a decent night everyone.

                              Lav...I remember when you were going to curves. Life does has a way of throwing it all at once!
                              except stay positive which I am & of course he's not
                              yup that sounds about right. Geeze! I'm glad you've got your craft sale to keep you occupied/side tracked and so glad you can accept the things you can't change. Hang in there, things will get better, I'm living proof. LOL
