Back in my day (geez, I'm old) this would have led to a kid being made fun of for a couple of months.

These days, this will undoubtedly result in a lawsuit that the taxpayers will fund.

Yeah, the shop teacher is responsible for teaching the kids shop safety, but once they're taught, some of the responsibility has to transfer to the kids.

I sure feel sorry for that kid but she needed her hair pulled back.

I look like a dork at work with bad hair (pony tail)and frog-eyed glasses and Mom jeans even when it is 110 degrees in the back end of the testing area, plus oh-so-stylish work boots and don’t forget my gloves — but I do come home with all my body parts attached and functioning.

That would be hard for teens to grasp. Because teens consider themselves 10 feet tall and bullet proof, all that matters is looking good.

I have been to all sorts of industrial accidents over the years. I used to work at a lumber mill did my share of stupid stuff; I am very lucky to have the fingers on my left hand after sticking them into the spinning knives on a rotating moulder.

Like the saying goes...

“...I’m not saying let’s kill all the stupid people, I’m just saying let’s get rid of all the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out...”
