Ironies lately.

[SPOOLFOOL2]

Not trying to make light of the current situation. Just was pondering a few ironies. Post up yours. Trying to keep this light hearted.

1# My state of California outlawed denatured alcohol last year, in an attempt to make this world a safer place.
And on a side note: I had all but used up (in a spray bottle) the last I had, decontaminating suspicious surfaces. Then was relieved to remember that I have an unopened 5 gallon can of the stuff in the garage. It says "VP M1" on it.

#2 As a skydiver with over 700 jumps, I can say that I am not afraid to throw myself out of a perfectly good airplane and pull my chute a few seconds before impact, yet I'm
scared to death to touch a door knob.

Stay safe everyone.

What's the deal with denatured alcohol?

I lived down there in the 80's. I thought it was paradise & I suppose in many ways it still may be. I left in 1990.

Not sure. They just outlawed it. You can still get Lacquer thinner and MEK which is much more harmful.
My guess is it was used in the making of some drugs. Meth? I could be wrong.

I walk around looking for the screwdriver that is in my pocket. That is more idiocy than irony.

Same here, city employees not allowed to ride in the same truck because it was reported by joe public.
20 guys in the dept. play cards at lunchtime.

I’m the only City Electrician so I work alone except when I have larger jobs and need help. No large jobs until this is over!
