Excellent stuff "Spidergawd", chortlin' long with my biscuit and cup of tea
Stayin' on the same theme.....
"Dangerous Dan" decides it's also time for a change of employment, as the entertainment industry is dry bones(See previous page) and upon lookin' through the help wanted ads sees; "Wanted, Experienced mechanic For Busy Garage. Excellent Rates Of Pay And Benefits For The right Candidate". So as his time spent at "RADA" seems to be...not to be, he thinks, "that's the boy for me".
After presentin' his forged certificates, a glowin' reference from a famous friend and lyin' through his broken teeth, he lands the job.
So, it's the first day on the job and "Dan", as he's known to his friend, is there nice and early, chattin' to all his "fellow" mechanics, when the boss comes from the office handin' out the days job sheets. He says to "Dan", "See that "Ford Escort" over there. I want you to drop the gearbox out o' it".
So "Dan" slowly walks over to the car and starts to fuss about the engine, stealin' glances at his "fellow" mechanics to see if they're watchin him. After a little more pokin' and prodin', "Dans" stomach is in turmoil and lookin down, he spots the inspection pit just to his left, throws himself in and starts screamin' with what air is still left in his lungs.
Tools 'clang' to the floor, as mechanics come rushin' to "Dans" aid, closely followed by the panic stricken, coffee stained boss and a host of concerned customers, just in time to witness a dazed "Dan" bein' pulled from his grave.
"Dan" explains through sobs and gasps, that he slipped on a patch of oil and it's, "a miracle i'm still alive!"
The boss is shittin' himself, as all the customers look at him, that he's about to get sued, so tells "Dan" to get himself down to the hospital for a check-up, take the rest of the month off to recover and don't worry a thing about money.
So, after a month of sittin' at home, bein' paid to surf the 'porn', "Dan" turns up to start his next shift, thankin' everybody for the cards and best wishes.
After a hearty pat on the back the boss says to "Dan", "see that "Toyota Corolla" over there, i want you to drop the gearbox out o' it", so "Dan" again slowly walks over to the car and tries to look professional, whistlin', pickin' his nose and swipin' it on his near spotless overalls until the boss smiles and walks away.
Things are not gettin' any easier for "Dan", as a "Corolla" might as well be the name of a 'nude' book for all the difference it's makin' to him. He glances to his 'lucky' left again and sees a car 'jacked' up and unattended, so he quickly rocks it back and forward til' it crashes to the ground trappin' his foot.
"Dan" screams like he's auditioning for "Tom and Jerry" and once again all hell breaks loose, with people runnin' to his aid from every direction. The car is quickly hoisted off "Dans" foot and he's carried into the office and laid out on a desk to have an estimate.
Very badly bruised foot, possible broken toe and the safety shoe is a write-off...so you'll need new ones on both sides. Say, 2 months off, give or take, with full pay and time to 'hit' the "Haynes" repair manuals hard.
So, 2 months later, 20lbs heavier, "Dan" returns to work, with all his "fellow" mechanics all ribbin' him about his 'tan' and they're runnin' a sweep on him..so the boss comes in and starts to give out the jobs for the day. He says, "Dan", "See that BMW over there, i want you to drop the gearbox out o' it",...at which point "Dan" breaks down and starts to become very agitated and emotional.
"Dans" boss is astonished, grabs him by the shoulders and cries, "Is it too soon son, are you no' ready to come back yet?", as the tears roll down "Dans" face.
"Dan" just looks at him and sobs, "I'm i the only cunt in here, that knows anythin' about gearboxes!!"
