Myself and a handful of other Marine recruits found out in receiving at Paris Island that it wasn't a urinal.
And there's always someone tailgating these displays of stacking
I think I was TAD to NAS Millington in 86. There was a Cadillac dealership offering Buy One Get One. The pitch was something about you having a new highschool graduate that was going off to college and getting a free Yugo if you bought a new Cadillac.
The first one I saw was in 8th grade jr high. I said look at this, you piss in it and it pisses back!
No matter what else he did for a living, my Brother In Law always cut wood for his habits (Elk Camp in Oregon, Fishing on the coast). This isn't even his truck, but he said, he wasn't going home with less than a full load. He has a 3/4 diesel Ram, that he stacks even higher. With better side racks.

My step-grandfather had a 69 Beetle. Modified it a bit. Had to put on a cooling system when we moved to Texas in 1974. Changed out some parts and put a stinger up and out the back. Loud!
We would go to the library and he would show me how to do what he called speed-shift, which was shifting without a clutch.
One of my high school mates in 1982 had bought his mother's '76 Chevrolet Caprice Classic. That car had some power when he was done tuning it up, just a little.
My Aunt Margaret who emigrated from Ireland smoked a couple packs of non-filtered Chesterfields most of her life as well as being well acquainted with Irish whiskey lived to the ripe old age of 88. Tough old bird. My other Aunt smoked Parliaments and died as a result of a fall at 89.
Up until about 6 months ago I had 3 of those in my house. On the wall in the kitchen, night stand in the bedroom, and next to my loading bench down stairs.
About 5 miles or so from where I grew up. Worked in a china factory in that town when I was in high school. Made lamps and whiskey bottles for Jim Beam.
weight and balance……….learn to use it……..
I don't wear any loose clothing when using mine. I saw a picture one time of a dead guy wrapped up in a large lathe. A very graphic example of not being aware of what can happen with machinery.
Once years ago I was drilling holes with a drill press and swatting the swarf off the bit wearing heavy leather welding gloves, took a coffee break, and then slipped on a pair of cotton work gloves when returning for some reason. Just a forgetful moment in judgement I guess. With the first swat I discovered I was strong enough to rip the finger right out of a cotton glove when the swarf grabbed it. I was lucky in that there was no damage to anything but the glove. I did learn a lesson about paying more attention to what I was doing though.
