Something's Burning
Recently I was told a story about a guy who worked in a factory with some very caustic chemicals.
All the workers were required to wear thick protective gloves, since any contact with the chemicals would , after a very short time, cause a severe burning sensation. Unfortunately, our hero didn't find out about the hole in his glove until shortly after a visit to the bathroom.He spent the rest of the day in the nurses office, holding his finger in one bowl of medicated solution and holding ...uh, the other injured appendage (from the trip to the bathroom) in a seperate bowl. To add to the humiliation, since the nurse was a woman, company policy dictated that her office door remain open!
