all pressmen are lovable, huggable and most of all squeezable.

Especially around the neck...

Poor mans hot pink...MAGENTA!

But it needs to POP!

Put a metal grid on the floor hooked up to 220 volts where the view it. When they step up to look at it flip the switch. That will make it POP!

Oh, I like that idea. Might work for cranky pressmen too.

One time at the old shop there was a hole in the concrete. We filled it with clear epoxy but after putting a quarter in the hole. I saw many a person bend down to pick it up. The worst one was our stripper/QC guy. He was a good guy but cheap as all hell. I kept in contact with him after I left and eventually he left as well before the place collapsed. He got into the scrap metal/cleanout trade. He got the contract to clean out the shop after it went under.

I have a feeling he got that quarter in the end.

I know some people that would lose their mind over something like that. I mean they would literally not be able to sleep at night. I LOVE IT! I might have to try it at work.

Might be a good test for prospective employees. Walk the dude by the place a few times. If he keeps trying to pick it up, he forgot that he already saw it or he doesn't learn from his mistakes. Either way, you don't want him.

The options are endless:
Do the quarter trick in the interview room for prospective hires, seated with their back to the door. Leave the room but watch though the open door;
or in the lunchroom, try Cheetos;
next to the press, a can of PBR.

You tricky little marsupial.

I like how you think.

He was a good guy but cheap as all hell.

That's how copper wire was invented, two guys like this found a penny at the same time.

How was the grand canyon formed?


One of those dudes dropped a nickel down a gopher hole.

Great opportunities for a hidden video cam also.

We epoxied a quarter to the sidewalk once back when the shop was on Market St.
Gone the next morning.

Any jack hammer marks around the spot?

[born2print]

Nope, just a note that said "So long and thanks for the crack"
 

Seriously though, it was just plain gone!

Talked to the pressman. We did use a 60% kicker. Ink consumption wasn't much different than any other spot color.
