>>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 wetsuit.
>>
>>This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep
>>warm is this: We have a diesel powered industrial water heater.
>>This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It
>>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 wetsuit. This floods my whole
>>suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi.
>>
>>Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to
>>itch. So, 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 my 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 decompression. 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 poop 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."
