There are these two guys, Hardy – a hard working guy and Laz – the less hardworking lazy guy, who work at the sawmill. One day, Laz is not paying attention and – zing – cuts his arm off in the sawmill. Hard-working guy Hardy, is shocked, but grabs the arm, puts it in a plastic bag with some ice and drives his pal to the hospital. Two days later, Hardy guy is driving to work and sees Laz playing tennis with his arm. He stops the car and yells, “What the hell, Laz?? Two days ago you lost your arm in a sawmill accident and now you’re playing tennis!” and Laz shows off his perfectly good arm and says, “The miracles of modern technology!” and so Hardy says he will see him at work tomorrow.
The next day, Laz isn’t paying attention and – zing – cuts his leg off in the saw mill. Hardy is shocked, but shoves the leg in a plastic bag with some ice and takes Laz to the hospital and drops him off. Two days later, Hardy is driving to work and sees Laz playing touch-rugby with his friends – he catches a pass and runs 50 metres for a try. He stops the car and yells, “What the hell, Laz?? Two days ago you cut your leg off in a sawmill accident and now here you are playing touch-rugby with your buddies!” Laz grins and points to his perfectly good leg and says, “The miracles of modern technology!” So Hardy says he will see him at work tomorrow.
The next day, Laz is not paying attention at work and – zing – cuts his own head off in the sawmill. Panicked, Hardy shoves the head in a plastic bag with some ice and drops the guy head and all, off at the hospital. Two days later, he’s driving to work – but he doesn’t see Laz. A week goes by – nothing, no Laz.
Very concerned, he drives to the hospital and says, “Hey, Doc? What about my buddy… the one who cut off his head in a sawmill accident?” The doctor looks grave and says, “I am sorry to say your friend died.” Shocked, Hardy says, “That is terrible doctor, were his injuries too severe?” to which the doctor replied, “Nah. We coulda saved him with the miracles of modern technology but some idiot put his head in a plastic bag and he suffocated.”
Moral of the story…don’t let Laz work in the sawmill!
