nail + pants = rip.....robb

Tuesday i was at work doing my usual routine when my manager and the two ladies that handle the admin came back to me and asked for my assistance. They had to locate a safe that needed to be shipped to mississippi. There were 3 of them in the warehouse in different locations but they had to locate the right one it was shipped to us by accident and needed to be sent back. so after looking at the first two they were not the right one. Well the last one was about 10 feet up on one of the shelving locations. My manager said to go get a forklift to take it down i said i can climb up on the crate which was directly underneath it and climb up to it to identify if it was the right one. They told me to be careful and it probably wasnt a good idea well me being the go getter i am said no problem. Well i pulled myself up on the crate which is about 5 to 6 foot and got on top of it looked at the part number to the safe yep its the right one all right. Well when i went to get down i sat on the crate to jump down little did i know that there was a nail sticking up slightly so when i jumped the whole back lefthand side of my pants ripped wide open. My manager and the two ladies were cracking up laughing and i had to laugh along with them to hide the embarassment. I went home and changed my pants and came back to work and trust me i heard about it the rest of the work day one lesson was learned though outta this look before you jump. LOL.......robb
