Discussion:
if guns don't kill, why do forklifts?

I have often heard the old saying "guns don't kill people, people using guns kill people" and that seems correct to me, but I have yet to ever see a forklift accident report in the news that correctly placed the blame.

This week a near disaster was averted in Moorehead City, NC, USA;
from www dot wral dot com /news/local/story/6789902/
"Nine drums filled with an explosive compound were punctured by a forklift..."

Do they really think the forklift got up on it's own free will and ran over to puncture the drum? Did the drum insult the forklift's mother or something?
I just had to vent, thanks.

He makes absolute sense to me.

I think he is probably correct, it is the rest of us that are mad.

Alright, you made me go and do it,
go to Fun at Work and get your fill of Larry the Cable Guy.

For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of seeing him just Google his name or go to YouTube.

Don't Judge us either, He is like the brother-in-law nobody wants around so we don't claim him. We just laugh at him.

As Larry the Cable Guy says "guns dont kill people, husbands that come home early do".

But I know what your saying.
