    Is it a repost?

    Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global
    >Divers in Louisiana . He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling
    >rigs. Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to a radio
    >station in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, who was sponsoring a worst job
    >experience contest. Needless to say, she won.
    >
    >Hi Sue,
    >
    >Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a bad
    >day at the office. I know you've been feeling 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,
    >heats it to a delightful temperature, 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 bum started to itch.
    >So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. Within a few
    >seconds my bum 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 bum was not as fortunate. When I
    >scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish
    >into the crack of my bum.
    >
    >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
    >totalling 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 bum as
    >soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't
    >poo for two days because my bum was swollen shut.
    >
    >So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse
    >it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your arse. Now repeat to
    >yourself,
    >"I love my job, I love my job, I love my job."
    >
    >Now whenever you have a bad day, ask yourself, is this a jellyfish bad day?
    >May you NEVER have a jellyfish bad day!!!!!

    yup .
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    It may well be, but with that thread title it will be reposted again, because there's no hope of finding out from the thread title in the search function.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
