The gravity of it all

Guy 1: "Hmm, say, how much did you say your weight was?"

Guy 2: "Not a lot... although I did have lunch a few minutes ago. Why do you ask?"

Guy 3: "Don't worry, man, I've got you safe by this piece of your shirt."

No ropes here. As for work accident potential, one can't say the same. Scary. Remember: the safety photos warned you beforehand.

Commitment to the work

In Frankfurt, Germany, a method actor attempted to make his performance as realistic as possible. Thus, and since he was playing the part of a Russian drunk, he chose to down real vodka during his entire stage performance.

Now, apparently, theatre-goers found his performance amazingly realistic, feigning broken movements and slurred speech in perfection. Only when he fell square did people realize that it was all a bit too perfect. Fortunately, this was a minor work accident, although this one had a literal audience. As a preventive measure, his producers have asked him to stick to clear ol' water, in future performances.

Hmm, I've heard of a few people who must be perfecting their "Method Acting" technique during work time... only problem is they're not really actors. Drinks and work don't mix... who knew?

Stack Overflow

Worker 1: "Hmm, how should we reach that tall spot way up there to transfer this heavy and expensive machinery? Oh, wait, I know... let's do this thing that can lead to a crashing work accident for everyone standing anywhere near or OVER any of these machines."

Worker 2: "We're so clever and wise."

(some people out there are probably thinking: "well darn, what's the big deal, it worked, didn't it?"... seriously, I can hear it right now)
