I'll never forget the time about forty years aga when a safety guy
from our worker's compensation insurer visited our shop. He had a
pack of hot dogs with him and started sticking them in moving
machinery where fingers shouldn't go.

A friend and I do a fair bit of plasma cutting. Curious as to what
the one-day inevitable accident will look like, we stuck some spare
barbecue sausages into an old welding glove and went at it with the
plasma. An interesting experiment !

(We think it's going to hurt, but not do lasting damage unless you
leave your hand underneath the nozzle)

Klein bottle for rent. Apply within.
about 6 months ago there was a show on tv that showed a new circular
saw that was being sold that the operator held a hot dog by the
blade.. when the blade hit the hot dog it quit and the electric brake
went on and the hot dog just had a little nick in it... unlike a
finger that might have been cut off with an older saw(one without this
new brake)..... i never did see them hit the market.. like the $35
plastic circular saws of now would have to cost about $140 or more...
$35 for the saw and $110 for the new brake??????
