It does have metal content....

I just saw a documentary called "pensioner factory" about a business in the
US where "the average age of its employees is a staggering 74 years. The
staff consists of 35 pensioners aged between 75 and 96."

The company is called vita needle and they make hyperdermic needles and some
small stainless parts.

I found it interesting & thought maybe some of you guys would too.

Video of their capabilities off their website:

Looks like the whole doco is here:

Everybody knows that employees over the age of 27 are useless.

Santa Claus told me so.

I had one lady retire at 92 another at 84 and another at 82. The one that retired at
84 started working for my company when she was 14 for a total of 70 years on the job.

If the staff is comprised of people aged between 75 and 86, how can
the average age be 74?

If half of the pensioners are travelling east at 50 miles per hour, and the
other half are travelling west at 35 mph, will they eat Razor Clam in Sha
Cha Sauce, or Puka Dogs with Coo Coo Relish when they meet for dinner?

If they are full time employees, yes they do, according to their company
website.
