Mind fog on name of show, meant The Office”.
But you surely knew that.

[ridesthemiles]

I have NEVER needed a job that badly.

I can understand the weight distribution while laying on a bed of nails. What I can’t understand is how you would get to the prone position, and how you would get up from it.

"Barefoot lego walking is way worse"

[DoughtyOne]

I’ve never been to one, but will admit to it being somewhat
confusing in that it seems to work at least part of the time.

I don’t get it, and I would not advise anyone to take part.

Risk your health just to show you can be a team player? And
if you don’t, does that mean you’re not qualified to work at
the place?

This is is what is called, “An unforced error.” There’s
nothing to gain, and if you do have problems, you had to
take part in it to become harmed.

No thanks. I’m with you on this.

[Honest Nigerian]

A team of people with burnt feet?
Wonder about the people who tried this: Were they trannies of any flavor?

[Smellin Salt]

I had no idea about the science behind walking on coals.

[Jamestown1630]

Even with the ‘science’, I don’t suggest you try it.

You could always learn to charm cobras, after all ;-)

[Smellin Salt]

Welll, charm is not one of my strong traits.

[Jane Austen]

Weird.

[Jane Austen]

Weird.

I can understand the weight distribution while laying on a bed of nails. What I can’t understand is how you would get to the prone position, and how you would get up from it.

Veeerrry carefully.

[Jamestown1630]

Animals don’t need ‘charm’ so much as simple understanding. The snake charmers have all sorts of clever secrets, largely based on knowledge of the animal’s habits and capabilities. (Except the ‘bad’ ones, who actually remove their fangs, etc.)

[Smellin Salt]

I agree with both of you. We need to take this country back.

[Jamestown1630]

Um...

[Billthedrill]

Classic managerial team-building test. “There’s a bed of hot coals. There are your employees. If you can talk those idiots into walking over the coals, you’re hired.”

[clee1]

The world is full of dumbasses.

I tell my kids: 9 out of 10 people you see are blithering idiots, the last one may or may not be smarter than you. The trick iz to determine which is which beforectheir dumbassery causes you problems.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

That was only the first part of the exercise. Now it’s 25 people, one hospital ward, one nurse, and only one bathroom that’s 100 yards from the nearest bed.
