Wow, just wow !techauthorbob wrote:Many years ago I worked at the headquarters of a major English company, this was a rather nice old house and large grounds on the outskirts of a West Yorkshire town.
This place had tennis courts, fruit trees, sitting areas, statues etc, very good for sitting out in summer.
One of the statues was broken and subsequently removed, but left an ugly looking plinth.
A new statue was duly commissioned, but in the meantime the head gardener decided to improve the looks of the plinth so he searched all the old storage areas for something suitable. The only thing he could find was a rare fibreglass elf leftover from an old social event.
This was duly transported to the plinth and placed in position. Unfortunately the elf base was larger than the plinth and needed to be propped up so he decided to use one of the Managing Directors golf tees.
This was suitable for a while, until one slightly windy lunchtime the golf tee gave way and the elf fell over onto one of the secretaries, injuring her slightly.
The subsequent enquirer found that the head gardener was at fault so he was prosecuted under the 'elf and safe tee at work act!
