Some like it hot The legend of the "curried sausage". Did you know that the Volkswagen company butcher actually produces more curried sausages per year than cars run off the production lines in the factory halls? Also did you know there is a ketchup with the Volkswagen logo? The Volkswagen curried sausage now has a cult status and you should definitely try it - it is on the menu in all company restaurants. Also: Our curried sausage has repeatedly been awarded a gold medal by the German Agricultural Society. http://www.vw- personal.de/content/www/en/leben/leib_und_seele/essen_und_trinken.html

He was researching ploys by factory owners to increase productivity. Stay with me on this. Why was he doing that? Because he was desparately looking for ammo to do battle with the Jagbaggers on this group, and wanted to point out the dramatic improvements in quality of the produce. If any. And how this miracle was achieved. So, he found the original study on the effect of laxatives being administered at carefully timed intervals by H. Ford, in order to increase production at his Yankee plants, and indeed in the Cherman plants. Ford and others noticed that most workers ran off to the shithouse at 11.30AM, making a hell of a mess, and being generally a 'crowd'. Ford and his specially hired nutritionist's found that dosing them up at lunch time with various canteen materials happily shifted the shitting hour to afterhours. At 11.30AM, the shift was 'empty' - sure, a few recalcitrants wandered off the the shitter for months afterwards, but it was more out of habit than for the social interaction. Eventually, those people went nuts and either hurled themselves into the forges, or simply quit to find a more sociable work environment. The VW idea is an update of that old idea. The curried snags are 'only' available for shift lunches - never before a shift starts work. ie not on the breakfast menu. Toasted cheese sandwiches are however, with the very best of Cherman Bunghole cheese, too. The idea is that the workers aren't hung-over, or sleep deprived due spending time in the pubs. They stay real close to the throne, because they have to. At home. So, Ron thought the ploy was soo clever, he had to share it with us in a separate thread - it's not suitable to a Jagbagger knockout attempt, but it is nonetheless relevant to cars. See? There's an explanation for everything. -- Toby quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur
