Newt Gingrich chimed in and said "What's the big deal? If I get elected I'm putting all those lazy 5-year-olds to work."

Didn't know there even was a Chuck E. Cheese anymore. I went there once as a little kid to some other kid's birthday party and even before I knew what a pederast furry was, it made me uncomfortable.

Those dough mixing machines are no joke. I've seen a girl get her hand mangled when she thought she was being clever by sticking her hand in there while it was running.

Trafficking in children for labor, no doubt.

In the state of Nebraska, you're a minor until age 19.

No doubt. When I managed restaurants, I wouldn't get within 5 feet of one when wearing a tie.

When I was 16 in High School, worked for a short time in the meat market/deli of the local supermarket. Got a call a few months after I quit asking me how old I was when I worked there (you could practically hear the safety inspectors in the background salivating).

Ran the deli slicer a LOT working there. Cut about -[]- that much off the tip of my thumb...bled all over some woman's pepper bacon.

Luckily the worst I did was cutting myself while cleaning it (while it was off).

Well there's your problem. You're not supposed to operate a meat slicer with that appendage.

That was #2. Drove my knuckle straight into the sharp edge straight on. It was over a year before I got all my feeling back and could make a fist again.

#1 was the tip of my thumb. I hope someone enjoyed me in their ham and swiss.

It was my knees. Don't be gross.

I cute the tippy tip of my index finger off in a meat slicer. It was a bleeder. It took months for the flesh to form back, until then it was weird a finger with a flat top. Mu brother cut the palm of his hand it was real gross fat hanging out. He ended up getting stiches.

I cut the tip of my finger, too, though not terribly deep. Hurt like a motherfarker and yes, it bled a lot, and was sensitive for weeks. Now I have a little White Spot of Jupiter on the tip of my finger.

If they're left in the ball pit after closing, they're fair game, all I'm saying.

Wait you were supposed to be 18 to run that? Somebody better tell KFC about that. Was making gravy and mash when I was 16, still cannot eat cole slaw to this day after pitching more then a few spoiled batches. No accidents though, I am not a moran like some of y'all.

Nah, he's just too old for the new 'Gingrich' hiring policy. Nobody over the age of 12.

I remember being 14 cleaning a Hobart mixer. No big deal.

I'm legitimately scared for my workers.

Saiga410: I am not a moran like some of y'all.

One of my favorite stories to tell is that time I got my hand stuck in a pizza dough roller. It was the machine we fed the dough into to make it thin for a pizza. I was cleaning it, and yes I did something moronic. The story isn't so good in print because it's easier to gesture for certain parts of it, but let's just say I was the manager of this restaurant and my hand was literally stuck between the metal rollers and I was within 10 feet and in full view of the front counter during a Friday night rush.

So not only was I stuck there, but I couldn't even help my employees get through the rush, AND my asst manager was the only one smart enough to help me take apart the machine to get my hand out. Finally got it out, my right index finger was lacerated pretty bad and I had to drive myself to the hospital. I drove a standard transmission vehicle.

I operated both the trash compactor and the furnace at the local grocery store chain when i was 15... in fact, it was probably the highlite of my day.

There's nothing like shoveling trash in the furnace and breathing in deeply.

Its bad enough that today's youth are mostly lazy slackers who expect everything handed to them, but the ones who actually want to work aren't allowed to.
