    Wherein Irv nearly dies and leaves behind a fresh-scented corpse

    Was helping set up for yesterday's truck. 2596 cartons! But about 900 of those were represented by 6 pallets of notebooks.

    A co-worker got on the forklift to take down a cart of stuff somebody pulled. Along the way he got caught on the handle of one of our flatbeds...

    which got pushed into another flatbed....

    which got pushed into a gondola of loose bottles of laundry detergent.

    Ka-Fucking-Boom!

    The shelves collapsed like a card table with Rosie O'Donnell sitting on it, resulting in a big pile of detergent bottles at my feet. Honestly, I was too shocked to move.

    The miraculous thing is none of the bottles leaked or ripped open, but now we get to rebuild the gondola with new parts after we finish the truck today, because the old ones are completely bent to hell and will never be able to support weight again.

      Glad you're okay, but I can just see the epitaph:

      Here lies I.P. Freleigh;
      Loved by all CSers dearly;
      Though he died with a curse;
      Things could have been worse;
      It could have been Numbnuts on heelies!

      or else...

      Here lies I.P. by gaffe;
      Though sad, we can only laugh;
      For the bottles did tumble;
      Fresh scents in a rumble;
      Poor Freleigh was too slow by half!

          Beautiful Geek King. Just beautiful. /wipes single tear from his eyes.

          I had been thinking more along the lines of:

          I.P Freleigh...workhorse...loyal friend and true...scourge of the slacker..Oh tyrant, hear his mighty name and quake!

          Okay, so I haven't been thinking about my epitaph lately.

          Mountain Spring?

          Fresh Breeze?

          White Lilic?

          People want to know!!!!!

          How about all of those, plus "April Fresh", "Lavender and Vanilla" and a few others I don't remember?

              Too much. All those scents would clash and cause my sense of smell to die.
