Dude! Naw!

Yes, we used the Shuttle's robot arm to nudge the pee-cicle off the waste water vent. It was impressive; several feet long. It was on STS-41D, maiden flight of Discovery.

No no no.. watching from the ground. I worked on the Shuttle arm, and we simulate all those tasks, so I tend to go with "we" when talking about what the crews did.

Hey Adam! so, I was a ramp rat way back in the relatively lawless 1980s when the biggest security issue was whether the customs dickbags were going to randomly have their dogs "alert" on your bored ass to see if you had a joint hidden under your scrotum. While that would obviously be a worst case scenario, a close runner up is losing the lottery and getting stuck with Honey Wagon duty and falling victim to some European asshole who didn't close the shitter valve correctly on the Air France 747 combi and getting a mouth and nostril load of Parisian snob caviar along with a permanent blue dye job on your hair. I've seen it all; everything from co-workers stealing luggage to chickens in cardboard boxes checked as baggage. My question to you: What has been your worst fuck-up to date that didn't get you fired? I've got so many.
