Of course it doesn't take too many billable hours for a lawyer to get to $5,000 so it may not be the company's fault. Plus in some instances you have other considerations. When I lived in FL I heard tell frm friends that MouseWorld did the same kind of thing. If somebody fell off the tram in the parking lot and got a minor injury there would be a dark suit with a checkbook and free passes there in a matter of minutes. Image was more important to them than the money.Bruce, a work in progresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774281859139642870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897287362311368816.post-22051323229916551612007-12-13T17:44:00.000-05:002007-12-13T17:44:00.000-05:00The other thing is, corporations do nothing to hel...The other thing is, corporations do nothing to help themselves. I once had a neighbor who worked for a major manufacturer of cleaning chemicals. He was in charge of the office that wrote checks to people who were suing them. He said the Legal Dept. always told him to cut a check for any claim under $5000, no matter how stupid the claim was- it was cheaper than court. <BR/><BR/>For instance- a woman put drain-cleaning fluid in the party punch? Write her a check. Man varnishes a floor in a closed room using a varnish labeled "DO NOT USE AROUND OPEN FLAME" in red and yellow letters 6-inches high, then steps back into the doorway and lights a cigarette... write him a check.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes Stupid is a two-way street.Forrest Properhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962708844204376272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897287362311368816.post-2500030878804352372007-12-13T17:13:00.000-05:002007-12-13T17:13:00.000-05:00I think some people eat a whole bowl full of stupi...I think some people eat a whole bowl full of stupid before they do things!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897287362311368816.post-24641845034358885222007-12-13T16:16:00.000-05:002007-12-13T16:16:00.000-05:00Yeah Mal, kinda makes you wonder.

Same type of thing.<BR/>My wife and I went on vacation to St. Lucia several years ago. There were what we call speed bumps on the road to the resort. The cab driver got a chuckle out of us making him stop so we could take a picture of the sign that said "Hump Here".<BR/><BR/>TM, I have faith in you darlin'.

Apparently British and American tourists are given to stealing the signposts, because for them they are objects of immense humour. The local mayor was reported in the newspaper as saying he wished people would stop stealing all the Fucking signs.<BR/><BR/>:-) xKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259837826944310404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897287362311368816.post-66155423217983729962007-12-13T15:27:00.000-05:002007-12-13T15:27:00.000-05:00"Do not place child in plastic bag" is one of my f..."Do not place child in plastic bag" is one of my favorites.

Fortunately I'm an industrial hygienist as well as a safety guy. The traditional difference is that the IH wants to help solve the problem and keep you working safely. The safety guy wants to respond with lights & siren and write tickets. I'm both so I'm very confused - I'll hug you before I shoot you.Bruce, a work in progresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774281859139642870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897287362311368816.post-69434259069407340492007-12-13T13:04:00.000-05:002007-12-13T13:04:00.000-05:00I used to work for a former division of GE. My God...I used to work for a former division of GE. My God almighty, those people were out of control when it came to "safety". There were so many signs on any given machine that if you actually read them all, you couldn't possibly do any work. <BR/><BR/>I once told the guy in charge of safety that we needed a sign saying that all these signs can be hazardous. Needless to say, he didn't have a sense of humor about it because he threatened to write me up for not wearing proper hearing protection. <BR/><BR/>I told him it was not a problem since I wasn't listening to anything he said anyway. <BR/><BR/>Still, he didn't laugh.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325465720003721471noreply@blogger.com
