My work just spent $80,000 on a new backhoe from John Deere. The deer logo on the center of the steering wheel looks like he fell off a cliff because with the wheel centered his nose points at the floor. It bugs me every time I get in it.

Exactly half as much effort as having to go back and do it again.

From a restaurant I was in last week. Meditate on this.

Reminds me if some remodeling work done a few years ago. I thought it funny that they didn’t bother putting a plate around the light switch in the hallway. I didn’t think much of it and didn’t want to call them back for something so minor, figuring I’d just spend the 50 cents and install the plate the next time I was at the hardware store. Then I found out why they didn’t bother - they cut the hole too big and a standard plate wouldn’t cover the opening.

Then there were the plumbers that forgot to solder a pipe in my ceiling, the electricians that couldn’t figure out why the outlet for the fridge and the ones in the bathroom wouldn’t work (leading to lots of extension cords until I I moved), and the natural gas tech that set my TV on fire and didn’t notice even though he was standing right next to it and 2 ft high flames were pouring out of it...

It was a small B&W set that I had sitting in the corner above the stove, normally propped up along the high top edge of the stove and the wall, out of the way, by a burner I never used . He was testing all gas- powered devices after installing some earthquake valve and had moved the stove and relocated the TV from its perch , paying zero attention to what was now on top of the stove . It never seemed to occur that if at least one of the   burners worked that the others would as well because the stove had electronic ignition and not a pilot light. If you hear the click-click-click on one burner and the stove lights off, wouldn’t it be reasonable to assume that gas was flowing just fine to the whole stove? Apparently not...

Thankfully I was home and smelled the burning plastic from across the house and ran to the kitchen where this poor TV was spewing out huge flames and toxic fumes right next to this moron. His response? “I thought I smelled somethin’ burnin’”...

This chimp was rather slow and blissfully unaware of his surroundings and paid little attention to what was going on around him. I suspect that fires and other “accidents” were a common factor in this guy’s career. I wonder if he was related to the chain-smoker I worked with at the airport that refueled all of our propane-powered equipment at night? I don’t know what happened to that guy, but I suspect an explosion of some sort was involved...
