A Picture To Describe Your Job!

big mick · Feb 9, 2006

These are a few of the kind of "things" I get to work with everyday:

Are you a lab technician? My Auntie is and I used to love going to her work when I was young to play "pick a bucket"....they all contained human parts of some sort....it was great.

10 points if you picked a brain
5 points for liver or lungs
3 points for eye balls, or eye ball.....(as Bruce Forsythe says "you get nothing for a pair in this game")

......thoes were the days

Anyone outside the UK wont know who Bruce Forsythe is.....but to explain, he is the god of game shows.
I salute you Mr Forsythe

Here he is.......just look at him......he oozes showbiz!

This may date me, but in the late 90's I spent some nights at RAF Mildenhall (late nights) watching the occassional rerun of a show where it looked like a younger version of this Mr. Forsyth had ordinary people doing some pretty hilarious stuff. It wasn't even anything unusual, believe it or not. The humor in it was that a couple my age would do things differently than a younger couple, and they were given the same task or question.

Is this the same guy?

Sadly, this type of really fun, understated humor is lost on most Americans these days.

You are the busiest person on the planet, perhaps in the whole galaxy (just judging this from watching my wife).

And for you, downsouth, why on Earth would you ever jump out of a perfectly good airplane? I've always considered parachutes as an "emergency use only" type of item. B)

I ask myself the same thing everytime I stand up and hook up to the anchorline cable, hearing how loud it gets in there when the jump doors open. Then when you exit the aircraft (if I could best describe it, your body is like a gum wrapper thrown out the window of a car going down the highway (not that i would litter :angel:

)). but when your main canopy opens and you see the view (if its a day jump that is) all you have left to worry about is hitting the ground at 18-22 feet per second! Its a great experience, just keep your feet and knees together and dont look at the ground!!

Steelhealr, are you a surgeon?

The name would suggest it of course....I seem to remember a "how did you chose your name thread" once but I don't remember what you said.

...and if you are, why don't you have a surgeon fish?

I mean, it would be better than a fitting nickname.

Going through periodic training (especially ejection seat overwater training...getting dropped from a gantry w/ full gear, chute deployed, into a pool), it was tough not looking to see what was coming! Paratroopers around the world really are a different breed of cat.

Night jumps? Can't even imagine...
