Guy welding shoulda knocked him out, clamped the ground to his thumb, the lead to a toe and waited for him to start coming around and flipped the switch....but, that is just a knee jerk reaction, A coffee can load of oxy/acetylene all going off at one time HAD to be a big blast. Being a shop, it probably wasn't a little can, was it? Imagine a three pounder,,, Shazzam,, Did it hit the roof? Did the welder come out of there running?
Man, take us there,, I thought I was a prankster when I , Knowing the Sergeants A.D.D. level of A place for everything,and everything in its place thinking, decided to put my half gone, room temperature, Orange Crush, in the bottle, naturally, under a one gallon bucket with the bale conveniently hanging off the counter, Right where he'd see it as he walked by. Musta been five of us, hanging around, waiting. He came by, saw the bucket, the look of disapproval obvious as he snatched it off the counter, immediately replaced by a look of astonishment and Ohh frikken NOOO! as the bottle came flying out and smashed on the floor. I was already volunteering to clean it up before the pieces stopped sliding. He didn't even get mad. He knew his own predictability had set him up. We all had a good laugh. He bought a new car, boy was he proud of it. Saw it parked Waay out away from everyone, at the mall. I parked so close my wife had to come out my side. Another guy in the squadron shows up, parked tight on the other side. Sergeant comes out, has to climb through the hatchback to pull out so his wife could get in. Goofing around is one thing, chancing getting someone hurt is another.
