Subj: Switchman
Test For Train Yard
From:LABLaughsClean on 10/21/2004
A guy named Pete gets a job
as a switchman with the railroad,
and undergoes weeks of training.
The supervisor then takes
him into the switch booth
to test his readiness. The following
exchange takes place:
Supervisor: "Imagine you were
sitting here alone and you
learned there was a train
coming from the North on that track,
and another coming from the
South on the same track. What
would you do?"
Pete: "I'd throw this switch
right here and put one train on
the other track."
Supervisor: And what if that
switch didn't work?"
Pete: "I'd go down to the
track and throw that big switchlever
there, putting one train
on the other track."
Supervisor: "And what if that
switchlever didn't work?"
Pete: "Then I'd come back
here and call the dispatcher to
stop both trains."
Supervisor: "And what if the
phone didn't work?"
Pete: "Then I'd go to that
gas station across the street
and use their phone."
Supervisor: "And what if their
phone didn't work?"
Pete: "Then I'd go get Uncle
Joe."
Supervisor: "Uncle Joe???
What would he do?"
Pete: "Nothing, but he ain't
never seen a train wreck."

A guy took his blonde girlfriend
to a football game for
the first time. After
the game he asked his girlfriend
how she liked the game.
"Oh, I really liked it," she
said, "but I just couldn't
understand why they were
killing each other for 25
cents."
"What on earth do you mean???"
"Well I saw them flip a coin
and one team got it and then

Subj: Bosses
Order Workers to Hide Tattoos
From: USA Today and News.AOL.com on 10/31/2008
Source: http://news.aol.com/article/cover-up
.........-tattoos-some-employees-told/233995
Cities and school districts
across the country are forcing
their employees to cover
up tattoos if they want to keep
their jobs. The edicts
have been issued to maintain a good
image, say the communities,
and they have been applied to
teachers, janitors, firefighters
and others.
"We
didn't want to offend some people in
the community," says Capt.
Armando Hogan,
spokesman for the Los Angeles
City Fire
Department, where employees
were ordered
last spring to cover all
tattoos while on
duty. "I have been on drills
and on scene
where someone has said, 'I
wouldn't want
that person working on me,'
and we've had
to educate the individual
who made the
comment."
Among the cities: |
 |
• Bountiful, Utah, decided in
August that new employees
must not show any
tattoos.
• The Pasco County School
Board in Florida has ordered
employees to hide
"offensive" tattoos.
• In Missouri, the Joplin
School Board will vote on a
no-visible-tattoo
policy this year.
The orders to cover up have
been growing as tattoos become
more popular, especially
tattoos on the face, neck, hands
and fingers. Some workers
feel the policy is unfair.
"We don't allow discrimination
based on skin color, yet
we came up with a policy
that discriminated against people
with color on their skin,"
says Steve Tufts, president of
the United Firefighters of
Los Angeles City.
Joplin Schools Superintendent
C.J. Huff says students are
getting teaching degrees,
getting tattoos, and then applying
for jobs. "We're saying
before you get a tattoo, you have
to think about how big it
is and where it's located before
you think about getting a
job in our school district," he
says.
|
The rule in Bountiful
was passed after
applicants with hard-to-conceal
tattoos
showed up for interviews for jobs
in the
police, streets and sanitation
departments.
City Manager Tom Hardy says city
leaders
had to decide: "Either we're going
to do
nothing about it, or we're going
to do
something about it."

.
In each community, officials
cite the exploding popularity
of tattoos. Bob Baxter,
editor in chief of Skin & Ink
magazine, agrees with the
restrictive policies. Baxter
says neck and face tattoos
used to appear only on heavily
tattooed people who ran out
of space. "What's happening
(now) is that a lot of young
people figure that the best
way to show that 'I'm in
the tattoo community' is to get
tattoos in very conspicuous
places," Baxter says. "I don't
think it's a good idea. It's
hard to get work."

Subj: The
Vanilla Pudding Robbery
From: hellgunner50 on 10/28/2008
This is just too funny not
to share. Excerpted from an
article which appeared in
The Dublin Times about a bank
robbery on March 2.
Once inside the bank shortly
after midnight, their efforts
at disabling the security
system got underway immediately.
The robbers, who expected
to find one or two large safes
filled with cash &valuables,
were surprised to see hundreds
of smaller safes throughout
the bank.
The robbers cracked the first
safe's combination, and
inside they found only a
small bowl of vanilla pudding.
As recorded on the bank's
audio tape system, one robber
said, 'At least we'll have
a bit to eat.'
The robbers opened up a second
safe, and it also contained
nothing but vanilla pudding.
The process continued until
all safes were opened.
They did not find one euro,
a diamond, or an ounce of gold.
Instead, all the safes contained
covered bowls of pudding.
Disappointed, the robbers
made a quiet exit, each leaving
with nothing more than a
queasy, uncomfortably full stomach.
The newspaper headline read:
'IRELAND 'S LARGEST SPERM
BANK ROBBED EARLY THIS MORNING'...
This is an Urban Legend as
