I just heard the news about the porn thing today! Yikes!

My dangers at work? Have you ever used an industrial sewing machine and felt the psi of the presser foot on your finger[s]? Or, sewed through an index finger and stopped when you realized the mistake...only to remember that the machine you are on has a needle that stops in the down position when you let off the pedal? OK...not to mention the blades and scissors (the size is ludicrous) and automated machines used for cutting patterns on leather and textile! And...I can't, for the life of me, find a comfortable chair to sit in...which wreaks havoc on my upper back!

But...nevermind me! My husband totes around dynamite and other explosives all day. He once had a girl riding his ass in her Volkswagon Beetle. He had hazmat placards all over the place and he HAS to stop at all RR crossings...and she was checking out his tonsils despite his brake tapping. He finally got to what he knew would be a long red light, jumped out of his truck (it's a pick-up with a dynamite magazine in the bed) and knocked on her window. She lowered it slightly and he said to her (I quote), "Do you see the signs on my truck"? She said she did. "Do you think they are a joke"? She said no. "Why are you tailgating me"? She said she didn't know. "Didn't you ever see the Road Runner cartoons...TNT...plunger...KAFUCKINBOOM"? She started to cry!!! But, worse than that...big rigs who are CDL licensed, tailgate him and nearly run him down when he stops for RR crossings and the like. They should know better than anyone...but they are some of the worst culprits! I worry about him every single (work) day of my life!
