Subject: Amusing anecdotes Author: Keith Prentice [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:29:50 11/09/01 Fri In reply to: Dave Hughes 's message, "AMUSING ANECDOTES" on 10:43:53 06/06/01 Wed As Linotype mechanics at the Herald-sun in Melbourne, when standing by machines during news production,we sometimes resorted to some light hearted fun. Joe, an old piece-operator was totally bald as a result of contact with mustard gas during World War One. One of the mechanics would stand on the back step of Joe's machine and leaning over the distributor, would take a deep breath and blow down on top of Joe's bald head. The reaction was instant and Joe would be on his feet to close every window within sight. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
