Just saw this quote today and for some reason I thought of you.

New nuclear plant management: "You have been safety
inspector for two years.
What initiatives
have you spearheaded in that time?"
Homer J. Simpson: "Uh... All of them?"

If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

When I saw my name there, I thought for a second I had made the list.. (pause to check my pulse). . . . Phew, still alive and kicking ... Don't scare me like that man!!!!

This is where perceptions/interpretations kick in. I am not sure if I should take this post as a compliment or insult.

I have been told that I look like Homer (slim, full head of hair, intelligent, etc). But then again, USA border security also think that I look like the 20th terrorist from 9/11. Its great to be famous, even if it does get confusing sometimes.

Safety???? Well, at some stage I have been a BASE jumper (allegedly - pls ignore this USA NPS - I am delusional and I would never do anything so silly as BASE), hence I couldn't possibly be into safety.... I definitely have no initiative either!!!!! Can someone tell me what comes after breath in and left foot forward???

Hence, you must have me mistaken for someone else. Perhaps. . . . . . . Tom A????

MMMmmmmmm, double height, big juicy, yummy, glazed, overhung, mountain thing..... OOooohaaahhhhhh.

Now, where's the ANY key to submit this post????

The above could be crap, thought provoking, useful, or . . But not personal. You decide.

For some reason I seemed to think you had served as 'safety officer' or 'safety inspector' for the ABA in a past life, but perhaps it was only pres?

Anyone acting as 'safety inspector' for a bunch of BASE jumpers (especially, from what I'm told, Aussies) could easily start feeling like Homer Simpson.

If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

You were correct - the role was my creation. Its kind of like trying to be a missionary amongst a group of "sinners".. I was just being a smarty pants in my reply.

Actually, most of the guys/gals down under are pretty good. Ocassionally we have a few bad apples pass through that spoils the bunch. Our topography does not lend itself to conservatism either.

Here's to the future....
