Doctors/Scientists on the Vine?

[Eyren]

I could have sworn I replied to this thread just now, but my post has been swallowed into the ether...

I laughed so hard I had to explain to my colleagues what was so funny! However as a former biologist specialising in brain and behaviour, I can only recommend transplants

Nog,
Its a low base to work from

[lynda66]

[HayleyB]

Bob, they are mean't to be protecting you, I think you need a brain surgeon with cell transplants at the ready, Jeepers..........

[MaureenHall]

Thank you for putting what I was desperate to, Lynda.
You cannot, I repeat you cannot make this **** up.
I have 2 walking metaphors here, and a broken arm that I have just dispatched to hospital.
This morning I instructed my guards to clean their guns, as if I dont tell them, they dont do it. I dont generally stand over them to check, as the Cpl in charge is pretty decent, so I know they are going to be at least rubbed over with a cloth.
Walking back towards my office, I hear 2 shots in quick succession, followed by enormous belly laughs and then screams.
Getting back, I find that one of the guards not cleaning his gun at the time, had decided to test his steel toecap boots, by sticking a bullet through it. Whilst wearing it.
Metaphor number 1.
Obviously it hurt, everyone around bursts into laughter, one guy laughing so hard as he has his gun in his hand, that he pulls the trigger. He was sat on the floor and his gun pointing towards his feet, getting ready to clean it. Metaphor number 2.
Finally, one of the guards up on the towers, about 8ft up in the air, has seen all this, and laughs so much he falls onto the ground, breaking his arm.
This place .......

Sorry Boss...

Geo..

Recommended Safety Measures:

I suggest you give them sticks in future, otherwise armour-plated boots. And of course, build the towers lower. A lot lower.

[janeyo]

my son has a toy gun that looks quite real if any of them need to look the part without the danger of such a thing happening again?!

[HotStuff]

May be a stupid question, but has none of them heard of a safety catch?

[Glutton4...]

ROFPMSL - soooooo funny, I can't even type...

[SueA]

OMG you're just lucky they didn't end up shooting each other or you when you went to see what had happened Bob!

[SlugLobber]

Thanks Bob. You just had me wailing and rolling around the office. I had to read your post out to my colleague. Oh dear.

*wipes tears from eyes and tries to look serious in case boss walks in*

p.s. as a biochemist I recommend sedative. In equine doses.

Many years ago a colleague in a Police close protection group was doing something he shouldn't with a young lady in a toilet.

He somehow dropped his firearm down the toilet and somehow it got wedged round the bend - now that took some explaining to our boss!
