    When I worked in a warehouse (Boston school supplies), we would always tell the new guy to hop on the forklift to go grab something up high.

    Once he got up there we went to lunch.

    It was very funny.

      I drove a forklift when I worked in a print shop one summer. It had these beetle-like pincers on the front to lift 6' wide rolls of paper. The first time I did it I didn't get the pincer tight enough. Going down the alley I hit a bump and off the roll went, merrily rolling its way across two streets. It went two blocks before it stopped.

            Damn never would have guessed that we have so much fork lift history here. Such as it is.

            Only non-witches get due process.

                To my great embarrassment I failed a forklift truck test in thw UK.

                Before we were allowed to drive one, the instructor showed us a photograph of a guy who'd had one fall on him and it blew his brain out of the top of the skull. I found it quite difficult to relax after that.

                Everybody else in the office gave me so much shit you wouldn't believe it.

                For failing the forklift drive test or just in general?

                  Yes.

                      I watched it. It was quite similar to the training course, but of course with additional and quite wonderful German humour, which isn't something you hear very often, at least from me.

                          I watched the entire video and rather appreciated the humor.

                          The "good job" comment was both to the "Klaus" character in the video as well as to you @Klaus for sharing a good video.
