I'm presonally not a big fan of Airbags.  Oh I know they've helped save lives, but I've seen some of the people who came out Autoliv from them accidently going off during assembly... not pretty.  My mom actually worked in the test room.  She just loved her job description and warning.

"You are in charge of placing test samples onto the shelves and connecting them to the circuit.  If at anytime one of them accidently goes off, the door slams shut, and drop screens are released in front of the windows.  After the smoke clears from the room, we come in and scrap up what's left of you off the walls and floor, repaint the walls, and find someone to replace you."

BTW, with the way the circuit was designed, when one went off... they all went off.  She said it was one of the funnest jobs she's ever had.

Thanks Bros... I'll try not to wreck anyone. It does remind me of the sign at the railroad crossing..."It takes the average train 5 minutes to cross this street... whether  you're on the tracks or not!"

Have a good one while you can still laugh about it.. Don S..

Democratic Senator Barney Frank said, after writing the first bail-out bill with zero over-sight that he thought the Wall Street bankers would do the right thing.  And sure enough they did! They lined their own pockets with millions and we still don’t know what happened to all the rest of the money!
