I was assessing this bloke at work the other day. Truckie, big man. 1970's mo. He was telling about a meting he'd had with management. He told me he was taking to the head honcho (the suit) and said "Don't piss on my leg & tell me it's raining mate" Still cracks me up now.

The usual version of that is "don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining"watt price tully wrote:I was assessing this bloke at work the other day. Truckie, big man. 1970's mo.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I looked up "hypersensitivity" in the dictionary the other day and found a picture of airport security.
It would have taken a government agency about 5 minutes to find out who this girl was and that she posed no threat. I'm pretty sure a stern phone call or police doorstop visit would have sufficed. But no, viva authoritarian overreaction and its News Corp cheerleaders.

Bloody oath they're hypersensitive and anyone with half a brain would know better than piss them off.David wrote:I looked up "hypersensitivity" in the dictionary the other day and found a picture of airport security.

They have to assume every single one of these kinds of threats is legitimate until proven otherwise. If it had of been a real threat and they managed to close it off with swift action it wouldn't be considered an authoritarian over reaction.
