Lurid Work Stories
"I know a railwayman of 40-odd years' service," says Juan Quar, "and he tells me a new gruesome yarn each time we meet. Last week's was of checking the time on the wristwatch of a severed arm he'd just collected after a track fatality."
Tell us the horrible stories you tease the new hires with, or that you've been told.
NB By definition, these are probably all made up. Roll with it

In that instance he was grounded
through his feet, and I would guess that the electricity went along his skin more than through him or his nervous system would have been fried and his heart stopped. Probably fatal anyway.
Sounds like a good Darwin award.
