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

Here's a nice one!There's a large major cereal factory near here. It has contracts with several major supermarkets. However, when supermarket buyers come to visit the factory, every trace of their rivals' interest is moved out of sight.
All labels, packaging, boxes etc are safely hidden away until the visitors leave, giving the impression that the factory only makes cereals for the one customer. This way, identical products can be labelled up and sold to various outlets as that seller's exclusive line. Crafty, eh!
Anyway, a relative worked nights there for a while and his workmates showed him a wizard wheeze. In the canning area, they would fill a can with whatever combination of cashew nuts, dried fruit, desiccated coconut and choc chips or whatever they fancied and then send it through the canning machine. It would come out with a nice ring-pull top and made a lovely snack to take home or a thoughtful gift for a friend. I was over the MOON with mine!
