    What position in the salt mines would you prefer--or would the luck of the draw be good enough?

    I LIKE it! Send me first!!!
    My grandfather worked in the salt mine. So did a bunch of my cousins. I never really knew him but my older brother said he was a real asshole. He tells a story...I was there but I was only 2... anyway my grandmother was bent over putting wood in the stove. She was round in the bottom. Anyway, apparently my grandfather says to us, "look at that fat ass. I wouldn't carry that around."...love you too honey.

    Salt mine sounds easy compared to events of late.

    Simple! Dig salt?

    The worlds largest salt mine is in Canada so we'll ship you up there. You can be a truck driver or explosives dude or operate the crusher. Your choice.

    I can't even imagine the corrosion problems a factory like that must have.

    I watch a vid on that mine a couple years ago. Huge! Miles long! People drive trucks thru it.
    It's just Sharpening, right?
