so dis monrin' when things are jus' startin' ta git crazy Party Toms'
forklift runs outta gas on the vandock... um, party tom ain't stress
fish tom... anyway, he goes and gits another tank of propane... see all
our 'gas' forklifts run on propane and have those funky propane bottles
on the back of 'em like ya see on camper trailers or yer barbque or what
not...
So, he goes and gits another tank and puts on... and the thing still
won't start... he's thinkin' he got a bum tank so he goes and gits
ANOTHER one and STILL the bloody forklift won't start up!  *giggles*  He
was gonna go git yet another tank and I shoulda let him *wicked grin*
but I was gittin sick of tha' monstrosity sittin on me dock blockin'
everything so I stops him and say 'hey, it ain't the tanks man,
somethin' must be cloggin' the line'

To which he replies 'huh?'

sheesh, they'll let anybody drive, ya know?

'the Line connecting the gas tank ta the motor ya ninny!'

Somethin' was gittin' through 'cause I gotta 'whaddya mean?' enstead of
the 'huh?' I expected, so I go over and shows him

'This, where ya screw it in, it's got this push pin thingy see?
sometimes it gets dirt in it' and I push on the push pin thingy with a
stick and a real good Blast of liquid propane explodes out of it
straight into my right eyeball at point blank range
 

*sigh*

nice way ta start the day off, ya know? *giggles*

So me eyeball is frozen and I can't see nothin outta of it, it's like
it's closed shut tight only I KNOW it ain't, so I close it and open it a
few times and sight starts ta fade in a bit and of course the whole time
party tom is helpin' me out by goin' 'Oh Shit Oh Shit' and runnin in
circles and other useless gestures *laughs*

So I'm standin' there wonderin' just exactly When is the Pain gonna
start and just how bad is it gonna be?  'cause ya see freezin yerself
don't hurt, *laughs* No, it's true, ya just go numb...

but when ya start ta thaw out... jeezus fucking christ lookout, THAT
hurts like a sonofabitch!

Well, me head starts ta thaw a bit and it feels more or less like gittin
hit upside the head with a good sized hunk of steel, and me vision is
still blurry and me eye is DRY so I figure this is one I should Report
to da Nurse and document, ya know?

So I trudge off to the nurses office... and there's a sign on her door
sayin' "I'm up in the main office.  For first aid see your lead"

Well, I AM my lead and I Can't really SEE, *shrug* but I trudge up to
the main office anyway.

So I git to the top of the stairs and there's Patrick, da plant manager,
and a few of the secrataries and some other folk and Patrick asks me if
I'm lookin' fer someone

*sigh*

another eyeball pun and da bozos ain't even TRYIN!

*giggles*

so I say "Ya!  I'm lookin' fer Gloria, I got propane in my eye"
 
 

to which Patrick replies " you have cocain in your eye?"
 

that was more than I was ready for, *laughs*

"I WISH!" exclaimed me

And the secrataries Laugh, and so did the other bozos up there *shrug*

Patrick jus' says 'oh, well, come into my office.'

I'm thinkin' 'wha??? you gonna cut me out a line?'
*smirk*

enstead he gives me a lemon drop.

and calls the nurse...*shrug*
 

I'd rather have had the line *laughs*

After a while me vision came back.
 

So, is it thanksgiving yet??
