Smart Leadership

Note:  I am sure you will all be happy to find out that I finished my Anthropology paper on Neandertal man and whether or not he was human.  This is a very good thing for several reasons:  I can stop dreaming about primates now.  I have more time to blog.  I can stop trying to figure out when humans became Human and how this relates or doesn't relate to my faith.
Back to the real important work of my life!
You will notice a new Poll.  I will address last poll soon.

You may find this hard to believe but Construction Workers are not
 necessarily the sharpest knife in the drawer.
I have so many examples of this but for now I will relate two.
About a year ago we had a guy who got bit by a Mojave Green Rattlesnake. 
These bites are very serious and he was airlifted to a hospital equipped
to handle these sort of 'accidents'
Because of course it was an accident, right?  He told the HR Manager (me)
that he reached into his tool bag and the snake bit him.  Must have crawled into
the bag and how would anyone expect that right?  Except later on it came
out that he saw the snake slithering around (this jobsite was in a desert area) and
he decided to catch it himself.  So he went to grab it and GUESS WHAT HAPPENED??
That is right, it bit him.  
Shocker, right?

So last week my boss, let's call him Mr. Burns from now on, has a crew on a jobsite in the mountains.  The security guard pulls him aside and tells him that a baby bear cub has been seen in the area and asked that he relates to the crew that this can be a dangerous situation and be on the lookout for the mama bear.  Mr Burns halts work and takes the crew out looking around to find the bear cub, which they find and take pictures of. 
Of course they do because a great leader takes his people directly into danger.

They found him later, the victim of an accidental grizzly bear attack. 
The police have been investigating how no one noticed how
 the raw alaskan salmon got in his pants.

(In case you are worried, the part about him dying is just
 a fantasy, preminition , wishful thinking
complete fabrication.  I have no idea what made me even think about it)

  1. The salmon is one thing. Its the honey that's confusing!

  2. I only dream about you, Waynal!
    And cookies.

    Rider-- I seriously was going to put honey on him too but I thought that might just be a little too obvious. I mean, a salmon COULD have jumped into his pants, but where would you find honey in the Tehachapis?
