Mike and Pete from Edmonton had made enough money in the tar sands and thought they would move to the West Coast to get away from the cold and bugs. Too young to retire just yet, they thought " let's get jobs in a sawmill !"
Pete is the first to be interveiwed by the Human Remains manager, who asks " S'pose your working beside the big headrig saw and a splinter of wood flys out and strikes you in your left eye, what would be the result?" Pete knows this one and answers, " I'd be blinded in my left eye." "Good,good" says Mr. HR man, " now what would happen if that saw proceded to throw some teeth and one struck you in your other eye?" Pete pauses and says "I know that one too! I'll be blind in my right eye-in fact I'll be blind in both eyes." "Well done Pete, you've got yourself a job, wear your safety glasses. Send in your buddy."
Mike asks Pete "How'd it go,what did he ask you, what are the answers?" " I got the job, just tell him your blind in the left eye, then the right eye, so your totally blind."
The HR guy asks Mike " what would happen now if a piece of lumber flipped off the greenchain and cut your left ear clean off?' Mike quickly answers "I'm blind in my left eye." "Oh, OK, well, what would be the result if you continued to stand there and another chunk of wood struck your right ear and ripped it off?' Again Mike snaps back "I'll be blind in my right eye, infact I can't see at all 'cause I'm totally blind!"
"Think man" yells the HR guy, " how in the hell would you be blind?"
" Well-" says Mike, "there wouldn't be anything left to hold up my hardhat."
