I'll kick his ass for ya

I guess it makes sense that in white collar work some people define themselves on how smart they are or how well they can perform their "thinking" job while blue collar workers focus on physical tasks. At the shitjob, some people go a step further. They brag about how they can kick a specific person's ass.

When one of the trained monkeys get wound up and intentionally do something violent that affects us all ( read....affects me ) I get bitchy and sometimes yell with my new and strengthened loud "shop voice". This attracts attention and in this one case BSG came by with a deal. He's always been a strange guy but I thought this was one of his best moments.

slang: GOD DAMMIT, QUIT SLAMMING THE LINE!! YOU DONT NEED TO SLAM THE MOLDS TO GET THE JOB DONE!!

BSG: ( hears me yelling and comes over to my station on the line) Hey, I can go down there and kick his ass for ya. It'll cost ya 2 bucks though.

slang: Really? Sounds like a bargain.

BSG: Yeah, hell I'm married and I got 4 kids. I dont even see my paycheck. I'm always open to making some cash on the side. You see the hot wax tank there? I'll stick my hand in it for 5 bucks.

slang: Yeah but then you'll be out for a week and I'll end up doing some suck ass job because you'll be out for medical.

BSG: Ok, well you decide whos ass you want me to kick then. I need some spending cash. Hey, have you ever seen a general manager get clocked? I got 5 more weeks on probation, then I could do that for ya.

slang: No, that's ok. The GM is a cool guy, I dont have any issues with him. I'll keep that in mind for any potential future conflicts though.

BSG: Well that would cost ya 500 bucks but if you got the cash, in 5 weeks I can make it happen.
