Did I tell you I work in one?
My fav is about an experienced chemist. This genius spilled some coffee on his polyester slacks. So, what did this doctor do? He cleaned it with acetone.
The worst story was about a tech who was worried about a swage mandrel struck while autofrettaging a cannon tube from the 200ksi contact pressure. So, he removed the hydraulics & looked down the tube to see what was the problem. When this spring unloaded.
How about the safety officer who was amidst denying a tech steel reinforcement on a small window of bullet proof safety glass when a nut blew inside the fatigue test cell while the rig was cycling 100ksi haulic fluid) & headed directly for the no longer existing aforemenrtioned? All survived.
I've got plenty....

Hi Mart,
i love stuff like that. But my technical knowledge is quite limited. So i can't read between the typos like i can with some other stuff. I would really like to know what the heck that was about.

  My favorite is about an experienced chemist. This genius spilled some coffee on his polyester slacks. So, what did this doctor do? He cleaned it with acetone (active ingredient in fingernail polish remover).
  The worst story was about a technician who was worried about a dummy oversized bullet struck while being forced through a smaller cannon tube from the 14,000 atmospheres contact pressure. So, he removed the hydraulics & looked down the tube to see what was the problem when this spring unloaded.
  How about the safety officer who was amidst denying a technician some steel reinforcement on a small window of bullet proof safety glass when a nut blew inside the fatigue test cell while the rig was cycling 7,000 atmospheres of pressurized hydraulic fluid) & headed directly for the no longer existing aforementioned? All survived.

  Missed about 60%.
  Got the general idea, though: There are idiots everywhere.
