Getting back to a depressing subject....

Panic fills the room, what to do, can't tell the shipper there was no one available...

Forget NALCO. Let's say the call is from Proctor and Gamble, and the load is hairspray. Most people don't know that's considered hazmat, and it has to be placarded. There are lots of things we use every day in our houses for personal hygene, etc. that are hazmat loads. Flashlight batteries is another example. I pulled a load of 4 (that's four) forklifts once. It had to be placarded because of the batteries on the forklifts.

I still can't believe Werner doesn't require the endorsement anymore.

Anybody get it?

Trivia.... there are actually 12 ides, one for each month, falling on either the 13th or 15th of the month.

Yes indeed... "I've come to bury Caeser, not praise him!!!"

But of course that was the whole idea... Harvey and his girl Thursday(I know it's supposed to be Friday but she left in a snit leaving Thursday to her own devices) are on hiatus until a new plot thicken agent comes along!!!

In other words I ran out of story line but feel free to add something to the story!!!

nothing?
 
perfect topic for me. I know nothing about nothing I am also a master of nothing , in fact I have nothing to say. Is there nothing I missed out saying? yes , nothing.

I was just wondering, though I no longer am, and just thought I would write down what I was wondering before I moved along, I mean before I forget what I was wondering since I moved along, that if I wrote something about something other than nothing in this thread, like perhaps a question regarding an ideology of itself instead of just rhyming or rambling or something of the sort that resulted in nothingness, would that post be in violation of the posting requirements, and therefore subject to all penalties and disciplinary actions inherent in the administration of said thread, to be carried out by the legally appointed representatives, or would that action, the carrying out of the duties and the record of it, in itself constitute an aforementioned, yet unspoken, somethingness?

I believe that the wording, "is there nothing I missed" would only be true if you included everything, and therefore it would have to be concluded by saying, "no, nothing" as opposed to "yes, nothing" Also if you know nothing about nothing then you cannot claim to be a master of nothing, you would have to know everything about nothing in order to be considered a master of nothing. I believe knowing nothing about nothing would place you at about, or even lower than, the incompetent level, not that there is anything wrong with that, but you may wish to consider that other topics might be more perfect for you unless as you said you have nothing to say which may not require any kind of mastery, but I also wish to mention that it is unusual for a master of nothing to have nothing to say about nothing because if someone were a master of nothing then I suspect they would have a lot to say, at least about nothing.
