This on-going joke does seem to be in poor taste. JMHO
From my assumption the joke makes light of taking someone's life due to a squable over work...?
No, that assumption is not, and was not, the intent of the joke at all. When it began, it was a joke about "sticking to your guns" and enforcing the requirements of your job as an inspector when you are getting hammered on, (much like this thread!:grin: ) with the old excuse of "we have always done it that way" and "everyone else does it this way," you don't like me", etc.
It's August. It's hot. It's Friday. It's time to unwind. It's also not a big deal to me. It was an attempt at humor, which I sprinkle on my views of life and my professional career. So you did not find it humorous. I fail to see the humor in that band leader on David Letterman. Life goes on. However, since Jay Leno has not returned my calls, I shall quit using the Glock jokes and search for new material references......
This is not life or death. This is an avenue for a variey of people to respectfully express their views on a variety of electrical issues. And yes, I used the word respectfully , even with the Glock references. I have no control over what is taken out of context by anyone.
I would suggest we all take a deep breath, turn down our sensitivity meters, and enjoy the weekend!
Thanks for your view, and the Glock references are over. But I'm still going to "stick to my guns" on the OP and my initial response to Marc about covering up the damaged bus fingers.
