Dr. Grumpy: "Do you drive?"
Mr. Safety: "Oh, hell no. My seizures have been so unpredictable that I've given it up."
Dr. Grumpy: "Were they ever well-controlled?"
Mr. Safety: "They were good, but not great. It always seemed like one would occur when I'd just started to think they were controlled, and I'd have to stop driving again. I finally gave it up. It just wasn't safe for me, and I don't want to hurt anyone else. My friends and I all work at the same warehouse, so I just carpool with them and chip in gas money each week."
Dr. Grumpy: "That works out. What do you do over there?"
Mr. Safety: "I'm a forklift operator."
Forklifts can cause havoc if mishandled, but at least they are traveling at 60 MPH so the damage is going to be confined to a small area and not spread over half the county.

ReplyDeleteBeen there. Had to investigate the consequential death…
ReplyDeleteHe drives.
ReplyDeleteI worked in a distribution center (what we call warehouses now) where one of the forklift operators lost his driver's license for DUI more than once. I guess since he wasn't on the road, it was ok - but I always moved away when I saw him coming.
