FRIDAY FUN THREAD: WHAT IS THE FUNNIEST/WIERDEST THING YOU EVER HAD HAPPEN AT WORK.

[TXBSAFH]

What is the funniest or wierdest thing you ever saw or heard at work?

For me it happened about 9 years ago. I worked construction in my 20's. I had several crafts, on this job I was employed as a pipefitter. I was stand next to my foreman when the General foreman come on the radio with a message to him. This was heard by all the foreman and others. This was a large job with maybe 50 with radios. (A bit of pertainent information, a section of pipe is callled a jiont of pipe.) He said, "Bob I just dropped off an 8 inch, 40 foot joint on the west side of the unit. Get on it is a smokin' hot job."

Some of the retorts on the radio were. "That is on heck of a marley."

"Talk about an employee incentive program."

"Can we have OT on that too?"

HAVE FUN!!!

Two people were caught having sex in my office building. Hint the freight elevato has a camera in it.

I was a ski lift operator on a double chair lift. In order to keep the lines to a minimum, we were required to send two riders up in every chair. A nice looking single young gentleman skier was standing off to the side waiting for another single rider so he could pair up. Just then an attractive female rider (slightly older) skied up to the front of the line.

He: "Are you single"

She: "No, but I AM separated"

No, it happened in Montreal 15 years ago.

Well, in the early 1970's I worked For Reynolds Metals Company, as a secretary in their Extrusion division (California). Our office was attached to the factory where all the huge ovens were used in the extrusion process. In the office, we had this guy who was about mid 40ish, an accountant, a know-it-all, and a snob to boot. He loved to eat and every morning one of the foreman would usually bring him something really tasty from home. So one morning, Charlie (the foreman) comes running in all fired up and Yells at this guy to come quick. And bring his knife and fork with him as they had a great breakfast snack out on the floor. Like an idiot, the accountant grabs napkins, his fork and knife and took off running to the back of the plant for "breakfast". About 1 minute later, he smashed back into the office with a snarl on his face (which was truly beet red) and the rest of the guys off the floor followed him in and they were laughing so hard, they could barely stand up. Seems a cat wondered into one of the ovens and got itself cooked when the aluminum was put in (poor little thing). And that was the accountant's "great breakfast treat". After 25 years I can still see his face and it still makes me laugh. Boy, he deserved it..... :)

During college, I was working in a sporting goods store and gun shop. Two guys walked in, and one stood in the archery section while the other went back to talk to the gunsmith. The guy waiting in the archery sectino was holding a squirrel tightly in his hands. The squirrel was straining to get away and was completely bug-eyed. And it had bit the crap out of him and his hands were completely red with blood.

And I had a very nonchalant conversation with him about how he caught the squirrel and what he was going to do with the squirrel until his friend returned and they left.

I suppose a Richard Head is different than a fredhead...

I used to work as a pool boy for a large estate. One day, while the owner was out of town on business, his wife calls me into the house.

Oh, wait, this was my letter to Penthouse. Never mind!

[fredhead]

OK, here's the history of "Fredhead." In my earlier days I was a partaker of the evil weed. My friends called me Fred the Head, and fredhead just stuck. (I was also a Lib and a Dumbocrat then, but I grew up and saw the error of my ways.)

[Born Conservative]

You're right; that's different than a "Richard" head!

In 32 years of working, I've never:

Showed up on a job where I wasn't hired yet.

Airbrused myself out of my boss's family picture.

Pretended to be handicapped.

Quit because I couldn't use the boss's bathroom.

Slipped my ex-boss a mickey.

Gone down to payroll to try to figure out what project I'm supposed to be working on.

Got traded away to a chicken company.

I have, however, had many "Mr. Penske is here to see you" moments.

"We will win with the Sword Of Teamwork and the Hammer Of Not-bickering!"

That was our company motto. Actually, it was Hammer of Teamwork and Sword of Short Coffee Breaks. Or was it Screwdriver of Company Outings? I can't remember now.

[MikefromOhio]

yeah me too....I have seen a fight, a firing or three and the like, but not too much funny stuff....

[Larry Lucido]

I'm still waiting for:

"Can you guess what I'm thinking now?"

"Yes, I believe I can."

"Is it doable?"

"Definitely!"

Screwdrivers at Company Outings

Ahh, the good old days when you had good booze in the am at company functions.

I once worked for a company that we had this huge Christmas party BBQ. We also knew that they were going to lay off half of us right after the first of the year. So right before we went we got an email for management asking that we please stop referring to the BBQ as the "Condemns last meal"
