Poor Ogasto

No sooner had I written a short post about how great our team of national employees are here in PalangkaRaya had 4 out of the 5 of them returned from a disastrous weekend.  One has gout so bad he can barely walk.  Another hit his hand so hard that it become too swollen to bend.  Another's wife became so sick with apparent food poisoning that she spent the weekend in the ER.  And last but not least, Ogasto, pictured above.  He and his buddy were hunting monkeys in the jungle (yes to eat) and the last one he shot wouldn't fall from the tree.  So, he scampered up there, some 30 feet, and tried to free the dead monkey and drop it to the ground.  It turns out that the only one dropping to the ground was him.  His friend said he was unconscious for a few minutes and then woke up.  After only missing one day of work, Ogasto was back at the hangar, although he moved REALLY slow.  I guess his left buttock is cut up as well, but I didn't care to see that, I just took his word for it.  These dudes are tough!
