Darwin Award candidates. (By the way, found out the best way to get words spelled correctly. Go into Word, spell it how it might be, then spell check.)

The first picture of the guy smoking next to the tank is an example of regulations gone wild. The (Healy) tank is part of a vapor recovery system at a California gasoline station and has a bladder inside the tank which contains any vapors. There are usually no vapors present in the bladder and so the risk of vapors in the area outside the tank are nil. Worked on these for many years doing testing etc.

I actually saw a fellow at a Mexican resort that we stayed at where they were doing building additions and I saw an ironworker wearing a piece of cardboard to protect his face while welding steel members.

In 1972 I was working for a company after school mfg. picnic tables which used carriage bolts and nails. A nail gun was used for the nailing part, my co worker decided on several occasions to use be for target practice, for the most part I was able to avoid getting hit but one day he got be in the postier and I had to go to the emergency room to have the nail removed. The boss fired my co-worker and never hired a replacement. I did more work for him on a part time basis then the two of us did together. The nail gun did not have a safety on it, all you had to do was pull the trigger and it would shoot a nail about 50 to 75 feet.

Hilarious. Thanks. Shared them with my wife...she said there's nothing here surprising to her, and she mentioned some idiot things I've done (some with her participating). I've made it to 76 so far, which proves that God protects fools and children.
