    Have these guys been deprived of playing on a see-saw on the playgroud? The three guys are standing on the long side and the one guy is on the short side. At that distance, a lunchpail should hold that guy up. Physics aside, where is the safety regulation guys? Those three guys should only put one foot on the board and then lift that leg slowly (call it motivation for faster work).

    This is simply to prove it takes 4 men to install a window. Wait till you see how many it takes for a light bulb.

    These must be government workers. I takes three men to do the job of about a hundred pounds of dead weight, and they all need hard hats to do it. (Sorry, OSHA)

    Says one worker to another, “It’s too bad this ship showed up unannounced and asked us to build it. If this was a place that normally built ships, they probably could have put it two feet closer to the side and given the three of us the day off. Oh well, it’s good to be needed!”

    The latest reasearch data from the National Shipbuilding Research Program Advanced Shipbuilding Enterprise Finance Committee (NSRPASEFC) shows this as just one technique the government has implemented to reduce the cost of building and maintaing US ships.

    Seriously, where do you find these?!? No harness, no railings, etc. Did the OSHA inspector take the photo, or is it part of the Safety Training video of what NOT to do?
    all from middle guy to man in front…
    “Bubba, I’ll bet your wife really CAN do the work of three men…”
    or
    “Cletus, doesn’t this remind you of your days of working road construction for the state? I think I see some orange barrels over there.”
    or
    “Dude, whadya eat fer lunch? If ya do dat again, we’re movin’ ya to da back of da line.”
    or
    “Nice work getting management to approve your suggestion to cut the safety budget, Cletus. Just look at the money we’re saving the company. You know with another person, we could probably shorten this board up another couple feet, too, and save even more!”
    or
    “Today, we’re makin’ Cooter do the install end of the job ’cause last week he was in yer position and told Buford here that with proper equipment this could be a one-man job. Now “Mr. College-grad”, what was you about to say?”
