Ya Ebbie we all know it but most of the new people don't. One summer I worked in a brake line factory when I was in college. I really sucked at the job. My foreman was an ex Marine Corp drill Sargent from WWII. His name was Whitey. Now Whitey would chew you out like no one ever before or after could. He would press his nose to yours and scream every insult you could imagine as his spit flew in your face and could even make up some words as he was cussing ya. I was a screw up, I would get "see me in my office" which of course was the mens room to get my face ripped off with cuss words and insults. One time the office manager came into the line. I knew they were going to fire me because I heard it threw the rumor mill (I actually deserved it). I overheard Whitey say come to my office. I could hear him ripping the manager a new one about "the kid is new, he will do fine" now if you have any problems with one of my people, I will tell you so get your ass back to your desk before I do a little dance on your face. Here was this guy putting his own job on the line to protect me.

I didn't get fired, worked the rest of the summer and tried to be better at that miserable job. That is the way Whitey was made, he could chew you out but nobody else better try ... Kinda like Spaw
