Remember, it's important to aim high, even if you're never going to get there. Today's gift to you is '20 Things You Should Never Say to an OSHA Inspector'. Please pay attention because I'm only going to type this once: 1. "OSHA? Wheeww … I am so glad you weren't here last week!" 2. "Railing?" 3. "Why are you writing that down?" 4. "Well yes, I do know how far a 3" framing nail from a nail gun will travel when you hold the safety all the way back? Why do you ask?" 5. "I don't remember. I was pretty drunk." 6. "I've got a better idea. Here's a Benjamin for you and how 'bouts we just forget this whole thing ever happened?" 7. "Oooooooh ... damn … sorry, I'll bet that stung!" 8. "Wow, is that your daughter in the car? She seeing anybody?" 9. "These are more "suggestions" than codes … right?" 10. "Holy cow, when did they start letting chicks become OSHA officers?" 11. "Scaffold schmaffold!!" 12. "You guys aren't gonna' be around – oh I dunno' – like next Thursday between 1 and 3 o'clock, are ya'? 13. "So then Jimmy bets Clem there's no way he can get the whole thing in his mouth and then ..." 14. "The other end should be tied-off? That explains so much … " 15. "... ohhh ... wait … I probably shouldn't have said that ..." 16. "Oh dude … check this out … I saw a coyote do it to a roadrunner last week on TV!" 17. "Seriously … why do you keep writing things down?" 18. "… well, yeah … for, ah … medicinal purposes." 19. "Sorry about that "dead possum on your head" crack earlier. I know those toupees can get pricey." 20. "Oh, MSDS stands for something! I thought I'd just been pronouncing it wrong."
