have you ever driven a forklift around children to test that theory?

it's not the children you have to worry about -- it's the ... ahem ... corpulent adults.

one time my buddy and i marked a race track around the warehouse, including the huge area where they stored the pallets of beer (often times three pallets high (which was about 40 feet). we would race around in our fork lifts. that is, until the day i clipped the corner of a pallet of bud heavy long necks and the whole stack (168 cases) came crashing down. that dq still grinds my gears.

I used to drive a forklift. It was so hard not to drive a car with both feet after a 12 hour shift.
