Knock knock. Who's there? This forklift driver. HAHA what a joke! This is why you don't let any old bum come over and start working the forklift. It takes time, a whole lot of precious time. It's gonna take plenty of time to learn to operate the forklift with precision and discipline. Not to be racist but this guy wasn't American, was he? I think I've made my point.
Yes you made your point. This was in Australia not America! da
OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
