A toothpaste factory had a problem. They sometimes shipped empty boxes without the tube inside. This challenged their perceived quality with the buyers and distributors. Understanding how important the relationship with them was, the CEO of the company assembled his top people. They decided to hire an external engineering company to solve their empty boxes problem. The project followed the usual process: budget and project sponsor allocated, RFP, and third-parties selected. Six months (and $8 million) later they had a fantastic solution - on time, on budget, and high quality. Everyone in the project was pleased. They solved the problem by using a high-tech precision scale that would sound a bell and flash lights whenever a toothpaste box weighed less than it should. The line would stop; someone would walk over; remove the defective box; and then press another button to re-start the line. As a result of the new package monitoring process, no empty boxes were being shipped out of the factory. With no more customer complaints, the CEO felt the $8 million was well spent. He then reviewed the line statistics report and discovered the number of empty boxes picked up by the scale in the first week was consistent with projections. However, in the next three weeks, there were zero empty boxes! The estimated rate should have been at least a dozen boxes a day. He had the engineers check the equipment, they verified the report as accurate. Puzzled, the CEO traveled down to the factory; viewed the part of the line where the precision scale was installed; and observed that just ahead of the new $8 million dollar solution.... sat a $20 desk fan blowing the empty boxes off the belt and into a bin. He asked the line supervisor what that was about. "Oh, that," the supervisor replied, "Bert, the kid from maintenance, put it there because he was tired of walking over every time the bell rang."

I thought it was funny but not too far fetched . They already make a holder for compounds that have a 2nd arrow ready for a 2nd shot .

Not bad ............ Carrey is a "talk'in ass" !

Never heard of him !

How about running deer to exhaustion with snowmobiles ? Oh wait , that's in Wisconsin .

As for less folks at the gas stations and diners , I would attribute it to hunters wanting to be more "scent free" and not wanting to smell like grease from a restaurant ( unless they are bear hunting ) or pick up odors at a gas station . I am usually in my stand or blind 1/2 hour before it gets light out , so maybe 1 hour before legal shooting . I see many vehicles parked in fields , etc where hunters have gotten to their spots very early . So , I see evidence of an ample amount of hunters out there instead of parked at Restaurants and Gas stations . One of my hunting spots is on Lima Road in Geneseo . I used to see a lot of vehicles parked on Country Club Road but not so many the past few years . We used to get tresspassers coming from that area but nothing in about 3 years . In that area I think the decline is due to the fact that the property has changed ownership and hunters have been denied access to that property . I know of 3 treestands within 50 yards of my SILs property but havn't seen any hunters in them . I usually don't hunt that section as her property doesn't drain and it pretty sloshy back there . I would almost need a boat to get a deer out if there had been much rain but we are going to set up some ladder stands and possibly a permanent stand this year . Uhhhhhh , what was the original topic ?

Happy Birthday John ! Have a great day .........

He had better be smarter than that in the ring !

I think you meant " Who's on first " !

The video stated that another girl was hit in the back in Wisconsin so I am still not sure where the Berkeley Campus is ....... The video showed the bolt to have a practice head on it .

After GOOGLING reviews for the Go-Pro , I decided not to buy one .

Probably shot by one of those Commie Liberals from Berkeley !

Wal-Mart has everything !

Between 2002 and 2011 143,028 lifetime licenses have been sold . Almost 107,000 in the 2008-2009 season . The source ? ------ NYSDEC http://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/26368.html

I bought the Lifetime Sportsman License when I was able to get it for a whopping cost of $50 . I no longer have to pay for the Archery or Muzzleloader tags . Thanks everyone !

I hope his Oval Office is a Johnny-on-the-spot !

I have been bored with this thread from the start . I don't support Crossbows but I don't fight against them either . 18 pages of bickering and no one has changed their mind . Yeah , I am bored . This thread will probably go on until one of the hunting seasons start up so folks will have something else to talk about . C'mon Turkey Season ! And , yes , I don't have to read this thread but will just to see who is calling who names , etc ...

Nice pics !

They ripped on Carrey again on "The Five" tonight also .

I watch "The Five" on the Fox station but missed this yesterday . It really frosts my butt when these actors protest against things that they have done to make money . Specifically the actors that kill hundreds of people in their movies and then protest against guns !
