[PSUBS-MAILIST] Thought this might raise a chuckle

["Storm New" <storm@intas.net.au>]

This is even funnier when you realize it's real!
 The next time you a bad day at work think of this guy.
Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana.
 He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs.  Below is an
e-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to a radio station 103.2 on
the FM dial in  Ft. Wayne, Indiana, who was sponsoring a worst job
experience contest.
Needless to say, she won.

 Hi Sue:
 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 and this time of year
the
 water is quite cool!  So to keep warm we have a diesel powered industrial
water heater. This $20,000  piece of equipment sucks the water out of the
sea and 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 the sudden,  my butt started to
itch.
 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 by 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.
 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
poo 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.
