I've done electrical work at Intel for close to 40 years off and on as contracts came up with the contractors I worked for at the time.

We were working in a clean room installing some equipment and they had just installed the "Sniffers" in this area. They use a lot of very dangerous gases and chemicals at Intel, so the sniffers would sample the air and sound an alarm if something hazardous was detected. One of the guys was working close to a sniffer and they hadn't warned us they were being turned on that day. He cuts this outrageous fart and within 30 seconds there was hazardous waste response team at our location all suited up in bunny suits with emergency equipment, first aid kits designed for specialty gas inhalation, etc... they were pretty pissed when they realized it was just a fart....


Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.
