m gardner Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) I had to share this. It was the most frightening thing I've ever seen happen at a machine shop in my life. And I'm old. We hired a young guy to work in Quality. The first day went pretty well, but I had to really lowball the handshake when we were introduced. Felt kinda fragile. The next day we were out at the picnic table at break when he announces that he wants to share what he and his friend do at their parties on the weekends. Being a bunch of beetle browed, neanderthal, drooling, rednecks we figured he had a new bow to show us. When he came out with some funny looking sticks with long ribbons on them and began to wave them around like those Japanese girls do when they dance we were spellbound. .:jaw:After he asked what we thought. I told him it was one of the most festive diplays I'd seen in a while. Eric said we mostly enjoyed shooting and hunting and not to do that again. When he said that sometimes they set them on fire and waved firery things around, the Serbian guy said maybe we should light him on fire. Now don't get us wrong we like watching Japanese girls do this sort of thing, but it's been a week and we tend to avoid the restrooms if we see him go in. He scares the daylights out of us. I'd hate to meet his friends and party with them. Mark Edited April 22, 2011 by m gardner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m gardner Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I keep my cell phone in my hand now. I'm getting a picture next time something weird happens. I thing we're just too close to southern California actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I think that's pretty funny and you should be glad you're going to be exposed to that sort of feminine side.:boxing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colorado bob Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 That's not the post I expected from the title. My most frightening situation was when a guy was threading a piece of pipe on a Rigid threader. He boumped the head with his hip to get it started. The head came off & the pipe impaled him. The Rigid is geared lowed----so it kept turning------screwing the pipe into bowels. I found him upside with a pipe in his groin. Lucky for him, the pipe didn't puncture his abdominal wall. It wented between his skin & muscle-----and the abdominal wall. Still pretty nasty. I would rather have the flying ribbon problem than pulling Johnny Mac of that pipe.

m gardner Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I am not sure how i would handle that.....did you crack a smile during the show? None of us could speak at first. Couldn't believe it. Now the guy at machine 5 ties shop rags together and waves them around and dances. He says he's selling tickets. They all wondered what kind of dancer the new fella was. Seeing he danced at break time I told them he was obviuosly a "break dancer". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a cousin that still can't go shirtless at the beach from scars he picked up running a 300 about 25 years ago. Got his T-shirt caught in the threads and could have killed him. Got a foot pedal on our 535 at work to help prevent that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
