Re: It was her rotten utility pole - she owned it Chuck, since you replied to me, I will answer. I do not recall calling the guy a tub of lard. I discussed actions that management should take if the individual was overweight.
If I said he was a tub of lard, please provide link.
Utility poles are of all ages and conditions, depending on the local environment. Poles that have been there for many years may be so hard on the outside that it is very difficult to use climbers to climb. I know of one incident in town where a person was on a pole and removed an attachment, the pole lost support from the cable, etc. and broke. Unfortunately the man on the pole rode it to the ground, and even more unfortunately, he was between the ground and the pole when the pole impacted the ground.
Poles do rot, in anyway you can think of, and normally at ground level and cannot support the weight of a person. Your not thinking that any human would wight enough...etc. was not agreed to by the company I worked for, which required pole testing prior to climbing. | |

Erie, PA | said by Austinloop:Chuck, since you replied to me, I will answer. I do not recall calling the guy a tub of lard. I discussed actions that management should take if the individual was overweight. What I'm saying is that there's no real reason to worry about him being abnormally overweight, as there's nothing substantial to say he was or wasn't short of a self deprecating joke he made to the customer. The issue is a rotten pole and a worker who didn't think to check for the condition.
The weight issue was used as a subliminal cue in the article to give you a bad guy (at the very least you know the reporters view of who the bad guy was). All Reference to his weight short of what he actually said should have been removed by an editor, but emotion sells, and newspapers are hurting so anything goes.
If you read most of the other stuff over there it's pretty much the same thing, newsatorials.
