“Hey Beautiful! I’m home!”
“You’re early! What’s the occasion?”
“You know that “blank number of days since an accident” placard the boss put up?”
“It’s been up for a year and never gotten beyond twenty days?”
“That’s the one. Reset again today.”
“Anyone hurt?”
“Nah. Close call though. The company was too cheap to calibrate the flywheel on the main shaft as part of regular maintenance; it disintegrated today. Little pieces of flying metal everywhere.”
“Please stop working there!”
“But the good news is that Wanda’s mashed thumb is almost healed! She’ll be working the press again in no time.”
