Business is booming. At least until Alfred Nobel got tired of killing his own workers and invented dynamite. Mega Corp would never have allowed such socialist mollycoddling of the plebes at the risk of reducing profits. Unintended consequence….. high explosive warheads, guilt over which inspired Alf to create the Nobel prizes.
BTW, There’s an Army ammunitions plant in Radford, VA that makes nitroglycerin as one of its products. They have a pretty good safety record, but I remember back in 1985 that there was a bad accident involving an 5,000 pound batch of nitroglycerin exploding and a whole storage building was vaporized. All that was left was a half-acre hole in the ground. A couple of the workers were also killed. One man was blown out of the building, but the other man was never found.

In spite of the low turn-out, the company picnic was a blast.

Their profits are going up in smoke. Which reminds me, time for wifey and I to watch “Up in Smoke” again soon.

If a sign like this was located outside the White House that said “___ minutes without something stupid happening” all you would need is a zero.

When you can’t spell your own product, this is the kind of thing that can happen.

Shouldn’t he be taking the numbers off rather than putting a new one on?

Maybe you should change that to seconds.

Note to Boss: Never tell a nitroglycerin worker to drop what they’re doing and come see you.
