The prizes you get for dumbness, back in the 80s I warned three people not to do ... this in engineering and yet they did it , they did not get a prize

The only stupidity I can see is that of the manager who exposed the business to an uninsurable loss of $55,000.

The three cases I got and told them NO, don't do that, I was only mild manner workshop manager, one started playing with a 24 metal disk cutter ... that took his thumb off , another a slot saw , told not to run the machine even when setting , open up the bottom off his forearm and good 100mm gash , the last was this girly who decided to join fashion week , told her to put a dust coat on or over-alls .. the wooly jersey she was wearing was a saggy and a death trap , the 5HP drill press was not going to stop , did not listen .... broke arm in three places and pulled the arm out off the socket .... last words I said to her "I told you so" some reason she curses me .
