THE CLOTHMAKER ACCIDENTS ARE MADE Where do they get off calling it an accident when most people get hurt? Looks to me like someone doesn't know what an accident is. Reminds me of the day my next-door neighbor fell off his 20-foot extension ladder. He had one foot of it on the ground ana me omer loot on the concrete sidewalk. He reached out to the side a little too far to paint a shutter, and blooie?right in the middle of his evergreens. They called it ait accident, but it looks to me like the only accidental part of it was that he didn't break his neck as well as his arm. One day on the job Milt had to do a little repair work on a compressor. As usual, he had his rear pockets jammed with tools, including a 12 inch screwdriver. As he was crossing the storage yard he tripped over a piece of 2-inch pipe and fell, ranting the tip of the screwdriver about an inch into his back. Yep. they called it an accident, but I still say it was merely accidental he didn't get a permanent case of sclerosis of the liver, or something. Looks to nte like somebody is way out in left field when they call such things acci dents. I thought an accident was a chance happening, unexpected, unintentional and without known or assignable cause. Didn't all these things have causes? Couldn't they have been expected? Seems Lo me if they would quit calling such things accidents, maybe guvs like me would think more about not having them. Just like old man Murphy, who blew himself up using some flammable solvents in the basement near his gas heater. Man. what an accident it would have been if he hadn't been killed!
