O.K. I have officially "Seen It All"

Stuff like that is pretty common from what I have seen.

We have a funny project going right now with Corps of Engineers. There is a 48" concrete discharge line that runs under the dam. It is to be used when the lake reaches a certain level and then the water can travel through the pipe and be discharged into the creek. Somehow the middle of this 600+ ft long pipe has sagged about 4 inches for about 120 ft. We are going in and installing a spiral wound liner inside the concrete pipe to keep 4 inches of water from collecting in the sag. Cost for this project is nearly a million $ and the best part is that since the dam was built water has never run through this pipe, never.

In this crazy world doesn't everyone have rights? The ammish have as much right to work and feeding their families as the union guy.

But, just to show how far things have gone, and I am recounting a story I heard yesterday on the radio.

Some University in the states, was requesting that no one attending some ceremony "applaud" as not everyone can do that! And I guess, they might feel diminished!

What's next? Outlaw walking as not everyone can do that either?

When will this crazy pendulum start to swing back the other way?

It's a good thing he was dealing with you most guys would have had him walking a plank wearing the seat.

That's a new one on me but I couldn't find anything about it on a Google search though. I have heard where some graduation ceremonies decided to ban "applause" because a certain few were carrying on so long and so loudly that it was seriously disrupting the ceremonies because no one could hear anything said about the next person in line.
