> Last week I had a

> down lately at work,
> so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to
> make you realize it's
> not so bad after all. Before I can tell you what
> happened to me, I
> first must bore you with a few technicalities of my
> job.

> As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the
> sea. I wear a suit to the office. It's
> a wetsuit. This time of year the water is quite
> cool. So what we do to
> keep warm is this: We have a diesel powered
> industrial water heater.
> This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out
> of the sea. It
> heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps
> it down to the diver
> through a garden hose, which is taped to the air
> hose. Now this sounds
> like a darn good plan, and I've used it several
> times with no
> complaints. What I do, when I get to the bottom and
> start working, is
> take the hose and stuff it down the back of my
> wetsuit. This floods my
> whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a
> Jacuzzi.
>
> Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my
> butt started to itch. So, of
> course, I scratched it. This only made things worse.
> Within a few
> seconds my rear started to burn. I pulled the hose
> out from my back,
> but the damage was done. In agony I realized what
> had happened. The hot
> water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped
> it into my suit.
>
> Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the
> jellyfish couldn't stick to
> it. However, the crack of my butt was not as
> fortunate. When I
> scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually
> grinding the jellyfish into
> the crack of my butt. I informed the dive supervisor
> of my dilemma over
> the communicator. His instructions were unclear due
> to the fact that
> he, along with five other divers, were all laughing
> hysterically.
>
> Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed
> to make three agonizing
> in-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five
> minutes before I
> could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry
> decompression. When I arrived
> at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass
> helmet. As I climbed
> out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter
> running down his
> face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub
> it on my butt as
> soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire
> out, but I couldn't
> poop for two days because my butt was swollen shut.

> So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think
