1. Mortician...

Surgeon

Sewer worker

[jberryhill]

33. A lot of funeral homes are family businesses

Friend of mine used to have stiffs in the basement, just below the kitchen.

[JuniperLea]

39. My dad went to HS with the local town mortician...

And I went to HS with his son. Between us we have some killer stiff stories... bodies that move between the time to lay them out and come back, smiles that won't stay sewn down, etc. After hearing about embalming in blow by blow accounts, I think I want to be thrown in a pine box raw and let the worms do their thing.

[XemaSab]

2. President?

[Berry Cool]

18. DUzy!!!!!!

:rofl:

[AnnieBW]

21. Malia would make a better President than Dubya!

He couldn't even beat Sasha on "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth-Grader"!

[dmr]

30. At least she'd be sober!

:thumbsup:

[footinmouth]

3. Proctologists

[we can do it]

4. Firefighters, Surgeons, ER Nurses-Doctors,

[Hansel]

5. The hub bub over this is a little over-the-top.

The child's on a training phone and the father is right there to yank control away from him. It's not like he left the child in charge and went out to lunch.

Was it stupid, yeah? Is it worth all of the overblown hysteria? No.

Why do Americans have to get hysterical over absolutely everything?

[hlthe2b]

7. They suspended the controller involved.... case closed IMO

But, it certainly should send a lesson to others.

[Hansel]

14. Yes it will.

But I'm pretty sure if the tape hadn't have gotten out to the public that nothing would have been done. I don't think anyone was ever in any danger. The tone of the pilots voices tells me they weren't concerned at all.

I think that it was still a stupid thing to do, but I don't think it's a news story.

[hlthe2b]

26. Had it not become a news story, you agree that nothing would be done

So, it is thus fortunate that it became news.

[KansasVoter]

12. It shows how stupid this dad was. That is the scary thing!

[Berry Cool]

19. Is it worth all the overblown hysteria of people who say those concerned about it

are guilty of overblown hysteria? I say not.

Why do Americans have to get hysterical accusing other Americans of getting too hysterical?

[jberryhill]

34. Calm down, pal /nt

[Captain Hilts]

22. Agree. The kid was permitted to say "ready for take off." nt

[slutticus]

25. It's pretty embarrassing.

I think people just like to freak out.

[ShortnFiery]

36. I can't believe THIS was the lead story on NBC when there was just a 6.4 Mag Earthquake in

Taiwan?!?

I loathe the M$M who are beyond condescending to the Working Classes of America. :puke:

[hlthe2b]

6. Police and fire, EMTs, Surgeons, BIohazard Lab Level 4 techs

[KansDem]

8. Heavy-equipment operators

[jljamison]

9. this whole thing is blown out of proportion

The controller is the one who made the decision that led to the communication. Instead of saying it himself he told a kid to say it.

The controller was still in charge.

[KansasVoter]

10. Still dumb as can be. Really dumb.

[CBR]

13. I agree. nt

[Captain Hilts]

23. That's right. Not the Big Deal people are making of it. nt

Bring them to the White House, show them the office, etc.

[Puzzler]

Like having them in surgery.

[Ikonoklast]

38. Bridge painters.

Underwater welders and fitters.

Antenna riggers/steeplejacks.

[Jennicut]

40. Pyschologists?

[Zomby Woof]

They should ban the entire idea. No spawn in the workplace.

[superduperfarleft]

44. This.

If I can't bring my cats to work, you can't bring your kids. Sounds fair to me.

[imnKOgnito]

42. Mine

Not because of the line of work, but my boss's bratty kid ruined my prized, most unique in the whole world tiny slinky by grabbing it off my desk and running down the hall with it dragging behind on the carpet. Some things are irreplaceable, dammit!
