Sounds like he needs one of those.

[QUOTE=helpiminabox;39683534]Sounds like he needs one of those.[/QUOTE] I hate you

I'd bet you could of cut the tension in that building with a knife, But the guy was probably just stressed out from losing his job.

Proves that no amount of stress balls could ever help him. Ever.

Haha it's funny because he was worker at a stress ball factory and he got stressed out. Everyone laugh at my observation.

He is balls deep in trouble now.

All the balls will be recalled due to this contamination.

It's interesting, they say the knives were 'tools of the trade' at the warehouse he worked in. What for? Did they have to manually trim bits off the stress balls or something? Seems so strange.

This is [I]balls to the walls [/I]crazy. I suppose he really [I]stressed [/I]his [I]point [/I]with that knife.

He's balls to the walls insane!

I hope his landlord doesn't squeeze him too hard for rent

balls

have stress balls ever actually helped? lord knows i'd prefer someone's trachea (preferably the stressor's) to crush and a small rubber ball is not a good facsimile for one

Yeah, I don't see how squeezing balls helps with stress. I'd prefer a massage, a hot shower, or a good nap instead any day. (Maybe those three in that order for best results)

Sounds like he needed to get a grip.

Seems so strange.[/QUOTE] Stress balls are bits of solid foam squished into a ball shape before they solidify in a mold. Molds tend to leave little wafers of excess material on the outside edges of the molded object, where the two halves of the mold meet. Knives are an efficient way to trip said excess material.

I popped my stress ball a few days ago :(

[QUOTE=Justjake274;39685880]I popped my stress ball a few days ago :([/QUOTE] You popped FOAM?? Wait a minute. What kind of 'ball' are we talking about here...

testicles

I picture that this is due to the boss just handing him a stress ball every time he files a work complaint or asks for better working conditions or has a dispute. Seconds before the worker snapped: "Please sir, I just need 5 more minutes on my lunch break, I can't even get through my food" "No it's fine, here just take the stress off." -Hands him like the 50th stress ball- -Punch- "I'm gonna cut you!"

He had balls.

The irony is so palpable, you could almost cut it with a knife.

I'd have the balls to take him down if i were there.

baller.

The irony, it HURTS.

That's nuts
