    A heads up for those who wear HI-Vis shirts

    The reflective part can give you a burn.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    Look out for the polyester shirts as well

    Get them too close to a heat source and they will melt onto your skin

    I’ve seen a refrigeration plumber swing his oxy across a shirt and it went up like sugar in a fire

    My polyester shirt melted from the seat belt rubbing against it as the truck bounced across these bitumen covered motocross tracks the ****** politicians call roads.
