Easily One Of The Most Dangerous Jobs......Woodpecker!!

Sorry for having to point that out, but it's not easy doing the backwards thing. You can know what you are doing and then sort of get dizzy in the final analysis.

I have been retired for a number of years, but my career was in management. I am far from being an expert writer, but when I am organized and stick to the rules of grammar/punctuation, I can get by. Through University, and even simple writing courses, you can acquire a process that works most of the time. And when you get exposed to Business Plans, Business Cases, and everyday memos to folks at all levels of the company, you gradually become pretty proficient. But I am failing as a book writer so far. Not motivated enough I suppose. My brother has written a few. They weren't bad.

But alas, I like to wing it too much, and that's when I can lose my focus.

Steve Martin was one my fav funny guys. He was hilarious. Probably still is, but more subdued of course. Those were the days when a lot of us younger folks would watch SNL pretty religiously. I love when he hosts shows like The Academy Awards. The Jerk was fantastic!!

Back then I was a huge fan of his as well as Richard Pryor.

I should stay away from tequila before posting backwards text.

But at least you felt good about it!!!

Then there's this job...

[CanDB]

But this one might be the scariest (for me)...

But I didn't feel good until I puked up my breakfast burrito....too many ghost peppers and completely out of Tums.

I always wonder, if the guy on the far left had to take a pee, would he take a dangerous trek by his peers, or maybe just maybe he rained down on the city far below???

What about if he had to go #2. Being hit on the head by a piece of doo-doo going 80 mph might be deadly.

The obituary would be sad and funny at the same time.

I thought I'd keep this at a "G" rating but some of us act like adults from time to time.

I knew I needed to keep it fairly clean with my choice of words. So far the Mods are OK with it.

Pay back time Mr. Can. Not a spelling error but WRONG WORD!

I believe the 2nd word in your post should have been "thought"....not "though." Now we're even brother.

I hate when I look at an old post of mine and see an obvious error!!! I rush too much!!

Tie game partner! Let the spelling bee continue...

Here's another very dangerous job:

THE TRUCK UNDERSIDE SPECIALIST



BTW....there's a discounted rate if you do it on the run.

If there is such a thing as an afterlife back here on earth, and we can come back as anything....please prevent me from coming back as a Woodpecker. The job title goes something like this: Must be able to pound their beak against a hard tree, for long periods of time.

I mean, any takers?

I would at least expect some excellent health benefits, including daily pain killers and brain related support.

Every time I hear one banging away in the woods, my nose hurts, my neck hurts, and yes, I feel like I just got hit by a younger Mike Tyson.

I think a beaver is in greater danger than a woodpecker. As far as precarious positions go anyways. The way they leave a tree looking like a pencil standing on it's sharpened end. How does it not just come right down on them?

Yes, we must protect those furry creatures, and if you get a chance, you must take in one of these...



tasty pastry!
