Last trip my crane operator hit "up" on the controls when I instructed "down".


In less than two seconds we had almost torn 200 million dollars in half.




I was surprised I wasn't fired over it.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

That would suck.
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

It'd make for a great story  ;)


Though the chemicals would've likely killed everyone in the room. Awkward.

Yeah.  If everyone died, who'd be left to tell the story?
