You don't work here without the proper attire.

It's right there in the Employee Handbook, page Three. No neckties (thank God), no loose clothing, you know, stuff that could get caught in the various cogs and wheels; steel toed boots for anyone operating hoists or lifts, all that.

Last year a guy named Jesus worked over in the back section by the drills. He did kind of look like Jesus, long hair and everything... we used to always yell "JESUS!" at him. He ignored us until one day he yelled that it was pronounced in the Spanish way, like "hay-soos".

When his hair got loose and caught in a drill press he was scalped.

Didn't look like no prophet after that.
