Forgive the man! Did he start world war II? II Was his name Sadaam Hussien? He was at the experimental stage in his life. He had not yet work out the physico-dynamic principles of largeish moving objects to a fine degree.

I will bet he was very good at making lettuce and tomato sandwiches and entertaining to ladies at tea parties, or playing whist with three or four cards in the deck missing. Perhaps he was good with young children, or was a not bad sculptor. You have to find the points of excellence within the individual. Failing that, at least teach him how to fill out accident reports meticulously.

I had an enthusiastic but errant employee once. He was good at accidents with sharp implements and he could really drive a truck into large rocks by the side of the road. He liked rocks. Trees didn't do it for him. Whenever he used an axe or machete he could manage to find a foot or hand to plant it in. It was usually not his own. We thought of brainwashing him as an enemy of the state and recruiting him for the other side. We hoped he was not patriotic and we would get drafted into his unit in a war. At a certain point the decision to shoot before being shot by accident would have arisen.
