This worker, what is his uh immigration status?

Maybe he's a "Dreamer". He could have been "Dreaming" on the job.

And to think we use “soap bubbles” to test for leaky joints. That, and a sense of smell or electronic sniffers. Never thought of using fire to check for leaks in a flammable circuit. No WONDER union nimrods look down on us lowly unaffiliated tradesmen.

I used to ask inspectors if they would like me to accelerate the testing by lighting a match.............just to see the look of fear on their face. I can't imagine how long gas was leaking into the building before the clown lit his match.

My Bonnie looked into the gas tank,
The height of its contents to see.
She lit a small match to assist her,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

he “worker” was clearly an affirmation action hire...of SOME sort...

[Chode]

the mutt what wrote the article doesn't even say if there was a Darwin awarded or not... terrible writing

[MeshugeMikey]

I can assure you that an award is indeed forthcoming!

[Chode]

heh heh heh, i only hope he didn't have any spawn yet

Architects don’t design natural gas systems....

I learned many years ago the old saying: Those who can, do; those who cannot, supervise/engineer teach/unionize.

Fixed it.
