>>>>> Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother.
>>>>>
>>>>> Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling
>>>>>down lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you
>>>>>to make you realize it's not so bad after all .
>>>>>
>>>>> Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you
>>>>>with
>>>>>a few technicalities of my job.
>>>>>
>>>>> As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit
>>>>>to the office. It's a wet suit. This time of year the water is quite
>>>>>cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel powered
>>>>>industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the
>>>>>water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature.
>>>>>
>>>>> It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is
>>>>>taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've
>>>>>
>>>>>used it several times with no complaints.
>>>>>
>>>>> What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the
>>>>>hose
>>>>>and stuff it down the back of my wet suit. This floods my whole suit
>>>>>with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi.
>>>>>
>>>>> Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to
>>>>>itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse.
>>>>>Within a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out
>>>>>from
>>>>>my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had
>>>>>happened.
>>>>>
>>>>> The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into
>>>>>my
>>>>>suit. Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish
>>>>>couldn't
>>>>>stick to it However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate.
>>>>>
>>>>> When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding
>>>>>the
>>>>>jellyfish into the crack of my butt.
>>>>>
>>>>> I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator.
>>>>>His
>>>>>instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five
>>>>>other
>>>>>divers, were all laughing hysterically.
>>>>>
>>>>> Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make three
>>>>>agonizing
>>>>>in-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five minutes before I
>>>>>could
>>>>>reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression. When I
>>>>>arrived
>>>>>at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet.
>>>>>
>>>>> As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter
>>>>>running down
>>>>>his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as
>>>>>soon as
>>>>>I got in the chamber.
>>>>>
>>>>> The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for two days because
>>>>>my butt was
>>>>>swollen shut.
>>>>>
>>>>> So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much
>>>>>worse it
>>>>>would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt.
>>>>>
>>>>> Now repeat to yourself, "I love my job, I love my job, I love my
>>>>>job."
>>>>>
>>>>> Now whenever you have a bad day, ask yourself, is this a jellyfish
>>>>>bad day?
>>>>>
>>>>> May you NEVER have a jellyfish bad day!!!!!
