Reply to "Trackside Thursday"

Here is a scene at the short siding of General Door and Sash as late on a Thursday afternoon they are trying to get the new drill press (the foreman JUST ORDERED!!) off the flat car and into the stake truck so it can be driven round the back and unloaded.  Note this is after they spent nearly an hr trying to off load it directly to the fork lift.  Tempers are short, time in shift is very short (and its "loader" Brown's wife bridge night and he has to be home to watch the kids) so you can imaging the dialogue.

"Loader" Brown (on ground) - come on you idiot just put the crane line hook over the head and I'll have Hooker Harry (crane operator) put it in the truck!

Billie Bronkowski (on flat car)-  don't you call me an idiot!  What did you do with the crane hook!

Truck Driver (Dangerous Dan) - Come on you two moron's put the xxxxxx thing in the truck I am going to be late for supper!
