just posted on the wrong thread, but...nasty jobs
I once worked for a high pressure steam cleaner company and was seconded to go and demonstrate said cleaner at the then BR Manchester.
Notwithstanding meeting Sir Bob Reid ( Then CEO of BR and he of the missing right hand) and proffering the wrong arm to handshake with I was then led off to demonstrate my miraculous cleaning machine on the underside of a train followed by a large entourage of BR bigwigs and cleaning staff.
I descended into the pit and proceeded to start up the machine. After about 30 seconds of firing water at the undercarriage of the engine I realised that the mess that they had selected me to clean off their train was very definitely not of the industrial variety-I was showered with clumps of hair, skin and dried gore,much to the general hilarity of the assembled watchers........
Yep-----suicide victim. Such comedians.
