Then someone had to extricate him from the forklift and then try and get the thing out of the Bus, it was a whole process. Forklifts are powerful machines, he lifted the whole Bus off of one side.

But in Professional Greyhound fashion his discipline was being politely asked not to do that again.

You dont even want to know half of the other crap he did, but he had Seniority.

What a job.

Anyways, this doesnt really have anything to do with teaching. I suppose these were 'teachable moments' at the Ol' Dirty Dawg but...not much more than that.
