A similar story (aka cautionary tale).

I used to frequent a truck garage.
One day I noticed the large square patch on the sheet metal roof. Inspection from inside found a large round hole.
I asked one of the older guys in the shop what had been removed. (It was such a nice clean round hole that I was sure a vent stack of some kind had been removed.)
He replied that that was the Tom Jones (I'm not actually sure of the name) vent.
I guess I gave away my wonderment as he paused and went on to explain. It seems Tom Jones had not worked there very long and was too lazy to roll an assembled wheel and tire into the safety cage. He just left it on the floor and put an air line to it.

Do I need to say that was his last day there?

Matt
