We have that too in France. And I am a great contributor. Now NONE of my
customer want me to work during april, 1rst ;-)
the biggest one : a customer rent a 32 tons (european tons) bulldozer to
make a hollow in a 'waste park' (a place where we put all wastes). As it was
too big to enter through the gate, they began to unhinge (remove) the gate.
As they didn't phone me, I phoned them in the middle of the afternoon :
"How are you ?"
"Fine, all is ok ... only one thing a government agent is coming tomorrow to
see how we work .... his name is moh-riz"
"who ?"
"moh-riz" (phonetically it sounds like MAURICE)
"..."
words said here are untranslatable !
the worst (I mean noone feeled (discovered) it was a joke) : all the
computer started with a screen (it was DOS time) : "hey, today is
"computer's day", so you will not see us working today ... Bye and see you
tomorrow" : all the users switched their computers off and waited for the
next day. I never told them that I was the author ....
J. MAURICE AT Grenoble DO.T France.Europe UFPRC - Foxil
unable to forget {^2001.09.11}
PS I have one ready for the tramway company here in Grenoble, but it needs a
lot of people and I must wait for "good conditions" : I would like a blind
man enter in the tram with his white stick, sit in the driver's seat and
drive the tramway with all passengers in it ! the tram follows the tracks
and there is a "second control panel" used when drivers learn driving so
there is no danger ...
