Standing in a bucket.....

Post by maninred »

I was reading another post and just happened to notice the signature from NEmallard, quote; “working for Royal Mail, is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle”.

I think that Royal Mail’s solution to this would be to:

1. Set a matrix of weights for the man in the bucket.
2. Make sure that he was bending his knees while lifting.
3. Make the handle bigger.
4. Make the bucket bigger.
5. Get the DOM to stand in the bucket as well and supervise the lifting.
6. Get the DOM out of the bucket and then bollock the man for not being able to complete the job.
7. Put another bucket beside the man and say “When you have finished with the first one.......”

:crazy:

Maybe that should be two men in a car-derived bucket?

Well do you expect the part timer to come in early and get in the bucket for free???? I wonder if they would both get conduct coded for using their own buckets? :Very Happy

Ask lino to show you how to stand in the bucket

You disagree with his methods and ask the DOM how to stand in the bucket
