My buddy Jake drank a whole pot of coffee at 10pm once and was asleep by 11. Turns out he has that gene where it just doesn't stick, doctors said his body breaks it down weird. He can basically use coffee as a sleep aid.

I used to skip them too, now I run them weekly.

Those horror stories are real. A buddy of mine saw a crew skip steps like brianm66 mentioned and they crossed a fuel line with a hydraulic line. The whole unit was trashed by lunch. Checklists aren't just paper, they're the only thing stopping a rush job from becoming a wreck.

No way the mayo debate could get physical, right...

@henrydixon, that story hits home. My cousin works construction and he always says 'safety first, even for five seconds'. Saved his eyes more than once.
