Wish I had a dollar for every time I was asked by secretaries, etc why I was dressed so nice to work on copiers. And was even servicing liquid machines with the monkey suit on!
      Two things I was taught early on was keep your tie tucked into shirt when working on machine and scissors close by in case tie got fed into machine
      oh yes.....the tie...i made the mistake of wearing a tie clip - discovered very quickly that it gets mangled when it gets caught in the drive gears/chain....biggrin.png
      Tip for the day; Treat every problem as your dog would.....If you cant eat it or f*ck it....then p*ss on it & walk away...

        the dress code just said a tie so my 2nd year i started wearing funny ties, had a dozen with silly graphics and one even said F%#K you over and over on it in a design you couldnt tell unless you were REAL close
        We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
        The medication helps though...

          You sly josher
          A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
          Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

            I had one plain tie, the rest were cartoon or graphic style. Burned most of them when we went to polo.
