No Need For Monkeyshines
A SENSE OF HUMOR is a good thing. We need a little
laughter these days to help us keep from going slightly worry-woozy.
But it can and should be safe and sane humor. Practical jokes that
can bring bodily harm to anyone are unfunny, unnecessary and brutally
foolish. Sometimes they backfire, too, and make a monkey out of the
monkeyshiner.
In industry monkey business, or horseplay, or whatever rough-
house antics may be called, can be a serious cause of disabling injuries.
There have been cases of “joke” accidents which brought death to the
victirns, grief and extreme hardship to the victims’ families, remorse
and court troubles to the prankster.
Don’t take the chance. The rough stuff is kid stuff—dangerous
kid stuff. Even the children should be taught that too-rough play does
not pay. So watch out—don’t be the hurt victim or the guilty guy.
