Getting Screwed

An intoxicated worker, who had been employed by an industrial manufacturer for over 5 years, had his glove snagged by a screw. It pulled his hand into a large machine leaving him with no choice but to amputate his arm below the elbow. The insurance company denied the claim stating that the accident was caused by his altered state. It was then presented in court that the employee was a highly functioning, life-long alcoholic who had been sufficiently able to operate the machinery without injury for many years. The court ruled that he was coherent and aware in his work environment (even after consuming large amounts of alcohol) and that the protruding screw which had just been put onto the machine was the reason for the accident.
