<<Yes it was. He just didn't want to, and nobody made him. You said he is 55, and he worked there 15 years, well, 25 years ago for sure there were respirators, so he could have worn them some of the time. Nobody else did, either, it didn't become popular until the lawyers started suing the companies, and then the companies started giving them to the workers to prevent lawsuits. So, I don't care what people say about lawyers, I am proud to be one.>>

Glad you're proud of your occupation. They still don't wear even painters masks where he worked. Has something to do with brass balls and no brains.

Friend Charley tried the cinder block thing with a couple of guys in the Hudson River. Of course they couldn't let go. Now as for pig iron no thanks, lead either. Now a pair of oinking porkers I'd go in the drink with.
