Im ok, thanks. Ive seen enough idiots in the machine shops. I went back to my trade center and helped with student questions and watching students set up mills, lathes, grinders ect. One kid kept talking in class and not paying attention to instructions. he was on a lathe and his baggy, untucked shirt got caught in the threading spindle on the lathe. It wound up and he fought back and *POOOF*! Just like superman, the shirt split in two and he fell backwards. He had friction burns on his shoulders. He was lucky he didnt get ****** up.
