We had a big workshop on Occupational Health and Safety issues at work today. Senior management were all in attendance to show how seriously they all take OH&S (despite the fact they cram too many of us into cubicles that are too small). I was helping out the presenter by cleaning the whiteboard at the start of the presentation.
Maybe I rubbed the board a bit vigorously but whatever the reason, the fucking thing came off the wall, bounced off my head and hit the floor with an ominous crash, barely missing my toes. I wasn’t hurt (it was only my head) but it was startling to say the least.
Considering I was almost killed while setting up a safety seminar, does this qualify as irony? Or is it bad timing? Or possibly even just plain funny. Judging from the laughter from the audience, there was a popular vote for funny.
Oh, except for the management types. They were sitting with an external safety auditor. They didn’t laugh at all.

Now you’ve reminded me of the politically correct version of chicken little that I read:
“The sky is falling the sky is falling!”
“Sue the bastards! Sue the bastards!”
Health and Safety…
WTF is up with those fuckers?
They just suck balls.
I vote for funny — but not as funny as the lawyer who broke through a window and fell to his death as he was demonstrating to students how strong the window was supposed to be. See Entry #3: http://www.anthro.umt.edu/archive/ijas/ijasv1i1/Darwin.htm
