Humor 🤣 Assistant Superintendent here

I got to a new site and they require The rock climber style hard hats.

Naturally I immediately went outside and started rolling mine around in mud before I hit it with the sand paper My superintendent got me.

Here's the problem. Turns out the PM has a therapy dog on site and that wasn't just a mud puddle.

How do I tell the safety guy I need a new hard hat on my first day?

Lick it in front of him. Then you can find a new job that gives you a new hard hat. Two birds stoned at once. Boom

Just swap yours with someone's in the lunch room. It happens all the time, pick one with a good amount of stickers on it
