Comedy on the job

One time I was on a job where there was a whole mess of beetle pines. All we had to do is get em down and make a few cuts. Well I dropped this huge Virginia pine and it landed on some smaller dogwoods and some hickorys bending them over with the tops under the pine. This guy that was working for me decided He was going to cut one of the bent hickorys. I stopped him and told him if he cut it from where he was standing it was going to clean his clock. He didn't want to listen to me and so I demanded that he move to his left about 3 feet. Being stubborn He moved about a foot and a half and began to cut that Hickory and I tell ya He was gonna show me. Well Just as I had predicted the top of that Hickory Popped straight up in the air Missing Him but it snagged his shirt and lifted him off of the ground about 3 feet. His arms and legs were just dangling. He looked like a cat that gets picked up by the skin on its back. His shirt eventually ripped. He was pissed but I had one Hell of a laugh.

Not that I should be saying this, but you don't exactly seem to have the most inspiring stories here.

That being said, we had a saying at my old job "Catch it, Duck, or bleed." That was used regularly when moving wood around.

The object of this was to inspire other stories that are funny. No one was hurt and this guy and I laugh about this today. Laughter is inspiring!
