Nothing wrong with your memory
hello, dunno if you will find these funny but they r some of my fondest memories from work, i work in residential units with people with abi's and or intellectual disabilities.
1 i was doing my final rounds one night checking that everyone was asleep and alive, i checked 1 young lady, she opened 1 eye, looked straight at me and said " you bastaaaaard" closed her eye and went to sleep.
2 i was extolling the virtues of beer to a gentleman and finished with the statement "name me one thing mankind has done thats better" without blinking or thinking he exclaimed, rather loudly, "f---ing!". we were in a restaurant at the time. i turned red, he laughed his arse off.
3 arrived for work in a shirt that had designer rips in it, an old fella took one look at it and shook his head, muttering his disapproval( every second word is profane) he goes to his room and comes back with a shirt for me to wear. saying "here yar" and threw it at me. The shirt says "certified muff diver" i wore it for the rest of the shift.
4 being chased by a gentleman in a wheelchair who had a knife yelling " im gonna kill ya". not funny at the time but now i look back and laugh.
kinda black, i guess and maybe you have to be in the industry to laugh, but they r some of the things that keep me going back to work with a smile. regards, heathen

...and the serpent said nothing, just grinned with knowledge.
Rivalry? That would indicate I'd actually lower myself to chris.' juvenile 'attacks.' Some of us are here to talk about beer. Others just want to irritate people. I think that it's up to each person on this forum to decide who is the real problem.
And seeing how many Canberra Brewers have tried my RIS, it become quite obvious where the BS is coming from. Try telling them that they haven't drunk it- they'll probably be a bit suprised...

We had a union organiser turn up on a site once trying to heavy blokes into joining. While he was going thru his "no ticket no start " performance "somebody" looped a chain over the towbar of his car and the other end to a wheelbarrow.Then they rang his mobile and pretended to be on the site down the road, claimed there was a stopwork and could he attend urgently.
He flew out of the office full of piss and importance, raced to his car and took off like a bat out of hell dragging this wheelbarrow down the road behind him.
It made a hell of a racket. He was livid and there was a big stink about it, talk of blackballing the site bla bla but it all settled down eventually.
And they never did find out who did it.

One of the main things that i can think of was an absolute champion we had at work. Made lots of friends this fella did.
One day he'd pissed someone else off so on night shift they decided to put an old dirty portaloo that was on site at the time on the back of his ute.
He went ape and when he tried to get it off with the forklift it supposedly leaked in the tray of his ute.
Needless to say he quietened down for a bit after that.
