In all machine shops I worked in - fire extinguishers had a placard mounted on the wall that says " fire extinguisher ".

The plackard is about 10 inch high - the extinguisher a couple feet.

You see the redundancy???

OSHA fines the company if you don't have the placard.

So apparently, they feel the employees are dumb enough to not be able to find the fire extinguisher without written instructions.

I once saw a fella on a message board (not here) ask, in all seriousness, 'Can anyone here tell me how to get on the internet?'

Coincidentally, I watched this film only a few days ago.

For those of you who don't know, I run an internet archive for WWII-related material. We currently have >20 terabytes of files online.

A few years ago a person who claimed to be a professor at a Canadian university set me an email:

Print out Hyperwar and mail it to me.

No please, no offer to pay for postage or my time, leave alone the paper and ink.

I replied. Haven't heard back from him.

Someone close to me recently admitted she thought transgender women (biologically Born as men) could be pregnant, post-op.

It's likely he was a Category IV. I served from '72-'76. The Navy was recruiting enough people that they would accept the educable mentally retarded. They were allowed up to 6 months to complete boot camp in those days. I got that tidbit from my company commander.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Nope. This was in 1984. Dude set himself on fire three times. We were debating as to whether or not to put him out the last time.

Never met any personally, but it strikes as stupid that people claiming to be Christians are raising money for a Wall in the run-up to a celebration of one who said, 'Love thy neighbour as thyself'.
