Rubes by Leigh Rubin for October 28, 2022

I generally manage to strike the nail on my thumb…

Tacky

He nailed that speech even though he came to work hammered…

Give ‘em a pep-talk and they’ll be driven.

Only recent injuries? I’m thinking that it’s just that no one thought about doing anything about it before – like it was just part of the job (like head injury trauma in football).

This is cute, Leigh. Thanks!

you nailed it today

The stacked hard hats look like a screw….

“I’d rather be a hammer than a nail”. Simon and Garfunkel.

Looks like they’re all getting hammered tonight

May Brad and Spike rest in peace.

Hello, I want to… Ooooh!

No, no, no. Hold your head like this, then go Waaah. Try it again.

uuuwwhh!!

Better, Better, but Waah, Waah! Put your hand there.

No.

Now..

Waaaaah!!!

Good, Good! That’s it.

Stop hitting me!!

What?

Stop hitting me!!

Stop hitting you?

Yes!

Why did you come in here then?

I wanted to complain.

Oh no, that’s next door. It’s being-hit-on-the-head lessons in here.

What a stupid concept.

Bad news. The company is bringing in a nail gun so you’re all going to be fired.

When all you’ve got is a hammer, everybody looks like a nail!

I imagine that’s an occupational hazard.

They’re not screwing around here.

That’s going to be a smack in the face.

he’s always bangin’ on about safety…
