Men have died for lesser offences

I thought i'd put this in the safety forum becuase it may save peoples lives.:D

I'll just recount a story that happended last year that still leaves me shaking my head.

I took one of my nearly completed sculptures into work one day to show everyone. They are always curious to see these things because almost always when iam asked what i did on the weekend i answer "woodwork":rolleyes:

Anyway this particular piece was of huon pine and i hadnt put a varnish or oil on yet. After been suitably impressed and admiring of my piece:roll: one guy i showed it to licked his thumb and wiped it on the base of the piece to bring out the grain. :o
The nerve:rolleyes: Surely thats crossing the boundaries of ettiquete and bordering upon dueling territory:D

I know a guy who has to slag over everything to "bring" out the piece.

I used to do a lot of rock polishing and this same guy used to lick all the rocks, then hand them back to you like nothing had happened .........ewwwwhhh :o :~

Al :o:doh:

I do to but not to someone elses sculpture which they have just shown me. :rolleyes:

I think that’s wrong. The bastard wanted to show everyone that he knew what he was doing.

Ask him to lick himself if he really has to.
