5. Yes, my surgeon was excellent, he had a true gift, a super-natural
way of working that meat grinder.

7. Yes, actually
Where I used to work the one we had held about 300 lbs. of ground meat at a time, a Hobart mixer/grinder, and cleaning it each night was a real pain in the ass. If you didn't watch what you were doing you could fall head first into it while trying to clean the very bottom.

The equipment was always disconnected and locked out at the time, so no one ever got hurt, just wet and soapy or disinfected.

Pretty funny to see a guy with his legs in the air yelling for help for someone to pull his ass back out, though.


As long as it wasn't me.:hi:

10. The real scary equipment in the big packing plants
wouldn't leave enough of you to put into a bucket to carry to your funeral. You had to keep your wits about you all the time; more than once I was knocked on my ass when beef quarters were flying down the rail and I didn't step lively.
