    >As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to

    >the office. It’s a wet suit. This time of year the water is quite
    >cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel powered
    >industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the
    >water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature.

    >It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is
    >taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I’ve

    >used it several times with no complaints.
    >
    >What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the
    hose
    >and stuff it down the back of my wet suit. This floods my whole suit
    >with warm water. It’s like working in a Jacuzzi.
    >
    >Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to
    >itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse.
    >Within a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out
    from
    >my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had
    happened.

    >The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my
    >suit. Now, since I don’t have any hair on my back, the jellyfish
    couldn’t
    >stick to it. However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate.
    >
    >When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding
    the
    >jellyfish into the crack of my butt.
    >
    >I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator.
    His
    >instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five
    other
    >divers, were all laughing hysterically.
    >
    >Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make three
    >agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five minutes
    before
    >I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression. When
    I
    >arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet.
    >
    >As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter
    running
    >down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my
    butt
    >as soon as I got in the chamber.
    >
    >The cream put the fire out, but I couldn’t poop for two days because
    my
    >butt was swollen shut.

    >So, next time you’re having a bad day at work, think about how much
    worse
    >it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt.

    >Now repeat to yourself, "I love my job, I love my job, I love my job."

    I can sympathize with this guy!

    I once did a quick lube service on a friend’s motorbike. Towel in hand, wipe out inside of airbox, plonk towel down behind me, use flat screwdriver, plonk that down behind me, sit down on towel, gave screwdriver a brand new experience!! Two days later I was caught smoking at school. The principal sympathized to the extent he not only did NOT spank me, but offered to call somebody to take me home for some rest and recuperation. My "jelly beans" looked like Aquafresh toothpaste, with 2 neat red stripes down the sides….
