I Thought I Had A Bad Day

[Snapperpaul]

This one may have been posted before, but as an ex sport diver i had to laugh.

Also my dad is getting a lot better so humour has returned.

 

Having a bad day, cheer up it could be worse , think of this guy ..........

 

 

Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana. He

performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs. Below is an e-mail

he sent to his sister. She then sent it to radio station 103.2 on FM dial

in Ft. Wayne IN, who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest.

Needless to say, she won.

 

Hi Sue:

 

Just another note from your bottom dwelling brother. Last week I had a bad

day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I

thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so

bad after all. Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore

you with a few technicalities of my job.

 

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 horribly. 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. (ok, I was screaming)

 

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

totalling 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, the 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..

lol seen it before but is it true? surely they would have filters? and how big is the jellyfish/hose?

[Guest Battery Bill]

James

surely they would have filters?

 

Don't ruin it

[Guest ScotMac]

Yes, it is probably made up...but still funny!!!

[Guest docter fox]

it's my inquisitive nature

[Guest salty_monk]

If that's the case we could always test it... well volunteered

Sure there's some Jelly's out here in the pacific... there's certainly some rigs.

[Guest John Walton]

Yellow jelly. Thats the answer

[Guest docter fox]

good luck trying to catch me

 

probably easier with a certain older member and just let them take the zimmerframe down with them
