When I was a very young pup, just starting to work here, there was a woman in her mid '30's with one hell of a set that worked in one of the tool rooms out in the shop. And she was proud of them, and there was no way a young 20-something could not look.

So one day a couple of the shop leads asked me if I had seen her new tattoo. I thought it was another one of their b.s. pranks on the new kid. So, playing along, I went over to the tool room with them. They introduced us, and told her I wanted to see her new tattoo. "Sure" was all she said as she pulled her tee shirt up, unbuckled her bra, and let them fall on out right in front of me. Sure enough, there was a nice little rose tattoo on one of them, towards the bottom. I had no clue what to say, what to do, or what the hell I was doing there. One of their b.s. pranks alright...

Then one of the guys holds it up so I could see better. I thought I was going to die. Then she slaps his hand away, grabs mine, and says "he can look for himself" as she plants my hand under her boob and helps me lift it up. Just shoot me and get it over with... I was stammering and shaking so bad... we were at work fer chrissakes... All I could say was "nice tattoo", and the entire shop (who were now gathered outside the crib) burst out laughing. I couldn't believe it. I honestly thought about leaving and never coming back.
